    The Passage tv series. To be fair, I got about 10 minutes into the first episode before I decided there was no way they read more than the book blurb before they wrote the script, but maybe they pulled it back in?

    Also Game of Thrones. The drift from source material started small but got pretty wild as they went on. I feel like Martin was pretty clear what the “Game of Thrones” was in the books and I don’t understand how a show with him as one of the key production members was able to miss that almost in its entirety. The show didn’t need a clear end, that’s the game of thrones, it never ends, the same cycle happens just as it always did.

      I wouldn’t even say the drift from The Source material in Game of Thrones started small. In the second season they already make at least one huge massive shift in a story plot.
