There has been so much distance and time between series 2 to present, for example, that I find it really difficult to remember all the little backstories and nuance.
That would be my biggest complaint of this show, way too long between releasing seasons. By the time this airs, it'll have been what, like 15-18 months? And it's so intricate with so much going on, it's so tough to remember what the #### is happening.

As someone who has been reading the books since the beginning... you have no idea. They have ten times as many characters, far more sub-plots, and there's
3 to 7 years between each book. Martin will mention a character that was last referenced thousands of pages and a decade previously, and you're supposed to know who they are.
Oh yeah, Gerald Gower. I'd wondered what he'd been up to since Davos sent him and Edric Storm off to Dragonstone in a Storm of Swords... 1853 pages and 11 years ago.
