My problem with the show from S3 was ...Yes, it definitely has become a Netflix funded production.
One impact is a slight lengthening of the season - S3 has 10 episodes whereas S1/2 each had 8.
The TV script departs to an extent from the books but that was also the case with S1-2.
The women (and some of the men as well) looked like they were dressed for a comic-book convention, all dolled up and manicured hair, and they were too powerful. I know there were strong female leaders in that time, but they had to be warriors not feminists. It decided to try and fill the Game of Thrones sized hole so I just couldn't get through the first episode of S3. S1 was really good (it had a raw, desperate feel to it) but S2 dropped a level in my view. It started to write people too much as good and bad when in reality those times it was bad and bad. When you see statements such as S4 will be "bigger, bloodier and better", you know it's time to give up.
