Gonna be waiting a loooooong time then. GRRM seems to be taking exponentially longer between each book. Should be finished ~ 2040 at the current rate.
The series will be different from the books so you can watch the series without having to worry.
I would just watch if I had to decide for you. Episode 1 was pretty good.
I feel the same way, just waiting for two more episodes to decide if I'll drop it or not. It's not even about being different from the original story, we cannot expect a strict print from another art vehicle because, well, Game of Thrones is an adaptation and that is totaly understandable. Is about the quality of the show, about the storyline being crippled through the disregard of the hero journey.

I'm really not sure if I want to watch this...I really didn't like the last few episodes, maybe even the entirety of season 5. Not necessarily because the show is bad, but as a fan of the books, it's really easy to get annoyed with some of the pointless storylines, whilst seeing many of the good ones not realising their full potential. Also, some of the storylines have now caught up with the books. I think I'll have to wait watching this season untill all the books have come out. And then probably wait a while.
Anyone else have similar thoughts?
