I don't think you can find a show or movie that's been adapted from a book where purists won't complain profusely about every little change. Also you have to cut out some characters to make it a watchable show for television. The writers of the show do an amazing job at adapting it. Probably the best adaptation of a book to T.V. show of all time.
I would agree. Benioff and Weiss do a fantastic job. I wonder, sometimes, about some of the seemingly unnecessary changes, though. Little things, like the Thenns being cannibals, the weird Cersei/Jaime rape scene next to Joffrey's body, Vargo Hoat/Locke, the love interest between Grey Worm and Missandei, etc...
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
