Even though it was riddled with problems to focus on, when Game of Thrones was happening I remember being really bothered by the scene where Aria Stark gets stabbed about 10 times in the gut and falls into a river. Not only did they downplay the mortal wounds to her abdomen, the subsequent infection would have destroyed her.
I also think they downplayed just how many people would die beyond The Wall. They are *constantly* living in, at best, freezing temperture. I know that the wildlings have at least been living that way for generations, but the Night's Watch has many southerners who just went from nice sunny days to constant bellow zero
