They have done an excellent job so far, and I'm really looking forward to seeing how they progress. No one else could have pulled this off except HBO.
The biggest potential problem is that GRRM blew his load with the Red Wedding and what I think will happen with the season 3 finale. I definitely find A Feast for Crows and A Dance with Dragons good books, but I am wondering if the screenwriters can keep it up and make it a compelling TV series. It seems that he is building up to something big and awesome, but he is taking a lot of time to do it. Being a straight white male, I am looking forward to the Martell women, but the success of the show needs to go beyond that to keep the interest of other demographics.

Like you said, so far so good!
