What positive trends from Season 2 are you referring to?

Was it the 55% decrease in viewership from Season 1? Was it the decreasing numbers of people watching the show week by week?

It is great to like the show, but it is a lousy adaptation and is not popular with the general public. Season 3 will for sure be the last season since it has no buzz and after season 1 lost many of the book fans since it isn't following anything in them

There is nothing in this show that is concerned with accuracy/continuity with the books outside of names of people, places, and things.

Why would they start now?
