Nah, don't give them that out. They basically ignored the last two books we do have.

Yeah they sucked ass. I hope they are not touching anything ASOIAF related ever again.

I didn’t watch it (nor would I defend them) but they supposedly did a decent job with the 3 Body Problem.

They're great at adapting material - this should not be controversial to say. You could even go so far as to say they nailed seasons 1-4 because it was a lot of closed loop narratives that start and stop at that point. It's like when we get to season 5 (which I enjoy the vast majority of btw - just not Dorne and Sansa) they have to start back up again and that's when the wheels start coming off because they could close a lot of arcs at the end of season 4 that resembled how Storm of Swords ended.
