I watched about 5 seasons of Breaking Bad and wasn't too big of a fan so while we're kind of in opposite boats i get that feeling of going against the bandwagon.

I used to, I've read all the books but I can't even watch the show anymore. It's gotten so bad, they are fucking up the characters and introducing things that never happened while taking away important things that did happen. They also haven't had Emilia Clarkes tits on in like 2 seasons which is just a crime.
As for the books, Martin has taken so fucking long to write Winds of Winter that at this point I don't even give a fuck about the story any more. The show is ahead of the books, and changing shit, so the books are really just lost at this point. And he spends more time running around at conventions and doing just about every single fucking thing he could possibly do besides write. I'm just not invested anymore.

I know absolutely nothing about that show. Never saw a single minute of footage. It might be a great show, but I just don't care to find out.
I've read the books and imo they're ok not great but no garbage, GRRM is great world builder but his story telling skills are lacking and I'd say that there are better fantasy books out there, the show has simplified many interesting characters into 1 dimensional walking cliches and feels very fractured to me.
I tried watching BB and didn't even get through first season so...

I've read the five books that are out, and after the fifth, I rage-quit. I have zero interest in watching the show. It's basically just masochism; "hey, I'm gonna show you all the reasons why you should love this character... and then I'm gonna gleefully kill them off, hehe!".
