Let's be honest, I don't think anyone expected this show to be this good. I knew it was going to be by far the best game adaption based on it being on HBO and the names attached but this is now 3 back to back superb episodes (arguably getting better and better) and there is legitimate award buzz about the show. This will get Emmy nominations for sure.
They way they fleshed out Bill's story was just perfectly done and despite the major changes it is exactly what fans of the game should want. We got to see so much more about the characters and the world and it done with so much care.
