Same here! I generally enjoyed season 1, though the last episodes were a bit of a letdown (due to Covid). Season 2 has been stellar and improved upon almost everything.
I’ve read the books, and to my own surprise, I’m okay with the changes they’ve made. I might get some criticism for this, but I think the show is doing some things better than the books. They’ve kept the spirit of the books alive, even with all the major changes they’ve introduced, IMO.
