verb the adjective noun

Having read ASoIaF and Harry Potter really hurt my experiece watching those shows; 'knowing' felt like a burden. I don't know, actually, if the Harry Potter movies are just bad, or if having read the books took away all the magic, so to say. I'm guessing both. Game of Thrones, it was hard to appreciate anything but the most impressive scenes, just knowing what's going to happen - and now with the later seasons that are not true to the book which just haven't been as good, I've never been able to really enjoy that show like I think I should.

How I feel about this show isn't hurt by me reading the book though, and that really excites me. I guess it's just that there's so much abstract imagery in the the book? You can go so many places, and they're really doing impressive work. I'm eager to see more, which is a rare feeling for a show where I already know what's going to happen.
