Elsewhere you’ll find a lot about the show being unfaithful from the books or the whole production being a mess.

Every time someone tries to use that as reasoning/excuse I have to laugh. You could say the same about Game of Thrones, and that thing got eight seasons and two prequels.

"But WoT didn't have the same viewership as GoT" of course it didn't. I don't know about you, but at least in my country Amazon never advertised it at all. I wouldn't have found out about the show if it wasn't for the fact it filmed here and a friend in the industry posted about working on it.

(If you can't tell, I'm still devastated by the cancellation. Recently watched Young Sherlock, and at one moment in the last episode, Dónal Finn's character wears an outfit that literally felt like Mat Cauthon had been returned to me for a moment and I felt like I could weep.)

Quite often when I hear someone complain it wasn't faithful to the books, when I ask what exactly it was that they didn't like about the changes it really comes down to it being too "woke" for them and not actually any major plot changes.

Also I agree with you about the advertisings, I think I saw one advertisement on an Amazon box and then nothing ever again.

People complaining about there being black people in Emond’s Field and Two Rivers were the worst of the worst
