So tell me....

people who have read the Game of Thrones books,
This show is just so unremittingly violent, and more than that, hopeless. They kill off almost everyone who you even give a damn about, in the most brutal way possible, and I wonder why keep on with it? Is there a point, when you finally get to the end? Or is it just one long relentless blood bath? Because if that's all it is, I think I'm done. Tonight's episode was just horrible, upsetting, and I just would like to know if it ever gets better?

Are more characters added to make up for the body count, or does the story narrow to focus on the survivors?

There's not a whole lot of completely new characters (thought there are a few. I think the Dornish have yet to be introduced at all in the show - that's a whole crew right there) but previously minor characters (at least in the books) become more prominent.
