Just finished watching the season premiere and I like where the show is headed and how they're going about dealing with budgetary issues. It's kind of hard to say, but I really hope they capture the real sense of a country at war with Arya's journey through the riverlands. As to the changes made, I think they kind of make sense, at least with Theon Greyjoy being the one to give Robb the idea of sending him back to his father. I do fear people who have not read the books may frustrated in an episode or two if some of the major characters that get introduced aren't further fleshed out, like Davos. I did like how they elaborated on the scenes of the Gold Cloaks going after Robert Baratheon's bastards, especially how they found out where Gendry was going because I don't think it was explained in the book.
