It also has two fatal flaws:

  1. Like the Hobbit movies, they're trying to stretch a much shorter story into a multi-installment franchise.

  2. Like the second half of Game of Thrones, the frequency of source material deviations keeps growing.

Who knows, maybe season 3 will set the ship straight, since supposedly season 2 was a consequence of the writers strike. But I feel like it's already past the point of no return. The show is trying to make most of the central cast sympathetic, when the point of the original story is that none of them are. And they're doing that because they're worried no one will want to watch multiple seasons of a show where everyone sucks, when it really should have just been a one and done miniseries.
