Sure, the broad strokes of the show still create an interesting and intriguing story and it is rather enjoyable, but shit, man, the books are like a million times better.

To me, that's just overblown Stephen King crap - too much shit, too little substance. IMO, the books have strayed way too far from the core characters.
