is the diversity of those characters explored or are they interchangeable?

I've only been privvy to a popular weekly podcast (sorry don't know the name) that a friend subjected me to. After listening to two episodes it became perfectly clear to me that the books as well as the show were absolute shite. I came to this conclusion because the podcast was obviously made by detail oriented fans who were obviously very invested in the series as a whole, and yet all they could do was talk about how absurd and outlandish it was... for two fucking hours each ep. I kindly thanked my friend for sharing the podcast and saving me the trouble of ever thinking I'd need to watch or read.
