If you like it, like it. If you don't, then don't. Stories are like beauty...it's all subjective. Watch the show and determine for yourself. I enjoy the storytelling and the visuals. Is the show 100% true to the books...no, but that's artistic license. If you're looking for a true depiction of the book, read the books. Or just watch a nicely done show that transports you to an Empire in the stars. It's not perfect, but it's good entertainment.
