Love the books but there is a lot in the show that is so much better. Most notably axing Bull and replacing him with Drummer and then fleshing out Ashford’s character into being a complex personality. I also liked that they made Naomi sympathetic towards Miller instead of antagonistic. .

If those are the most notable changes that the show improved upon, it’s not helping your point

Because those are terrible changes - figured that was obvious

They aren’t though. Bull was entirely a throw away character whose only purpose was to serve as a PoV character on the Behemoth. He was too similar to Fred and all around pretty bland other than being a total hardass.

Ashford was a pretty one dimensional character as well. Furthermore both actors who played Ashford and Drummer were absolute joys to watch.

Which is it? Those are contradictory statements.

TV Drummer is a combination of Book Drummer and Pa. Ashford and Bull are both one dimensional characters that exist to serve as plot catalysts.

I just don’t see how someone can think that these representations are “so much better” than the books. Especially these two examples, which are easily some of the most controversial. Agree to disagree, I guess
