Title: An Adequate Adaptation of a Masterpiece
Product review: There are not enough superlatives to describe the A Song of Ice and Fire series by George R.R. Martin, but the same cannot be said for Game of Thrones, the TV series from HBO. This is a fantastic show, but only because its source material is so astoundingly great. The contributions of the people who adapted the show are rather mediocre.David Benioff and D.B. Weiss just are not very good script writers. The budget is borderline inadequate--each major character wears the same outfit throughout the entire first season. The short length of each season means a lot of what makes the books great gets cut.So why did I give this 5 stars? Well, it's still better than 99% of the shows on television and needs to be judged by that standard, not the standard set by the books.
