Entertaining is good! It's kind of like Xena meets Game of Thrones. Humor and action meets serious business drama.
The disconnected storylines are annoying but I also thought that was true of the books, so in that sense I'd call it "a loyal representation of the books", albeit the books gave you more time to eventually go "ohhh, wait a second, this chapter is like 30 years ago". The TV show is more like "hey isn't that guy the husband from the last episode? Ohhhh, right, unannounced flashback time again."
