So I finally caught up with the show, and it honestly wasn't that bad. I mean as far as TV goes, it's fairly competent, it's enjoyable, sure it's not high art but it's still enjoyable. Are the books worse or something? You guys made it sound like literal shit stains.

The books are worse in that they take more time to get less done because of the endless tangents the fat man goes on and being deliberately drawn out as a cheap way of making them more "epic". I don't mind tangents or uneventful books if the author can actually write and has something to say, but glorified pulp shouldn't outstay its welcome.
The show is fine for cheap entertainment, the books aren't even good for that.

>deliberately drawn out to make things more "epic"
what are some examples of this?
There's a fucking containment board for this shit.
I wouldn't even mind if you made a general, but I don't like seeing one of these on every page.
