But it's not only about keeping it loyal it's also about characterization and generally making you feel for the characters.

I've been trying my best to enjoy it standalone ever since I stopped having a lot of expectations and I tried to detach myself from the novels (hence the relatively positive ratings lately), and I'm going to save a long, similar rant for the entire series for, well, the end of series thread, but I'll at least say that I generally agree with everything you're saying.
EDIT: For the record, my least favorite episode is either the first one or the one with the infamous "despaircoughing" (either 3 or 4, I don't remember :O)
