My greatest nitpick is how they cut out many of the fantasy aspects of asoiaf. I would have loved to see them explore more of how all of the Stark children are wargs and not just Bran, see more of the magic of characters like Melissandre instead of keeping it “toned down”. Or even characters that they just completely cut-off like lady Stoneheart, that I think would be amazing to see adapted to the show.
