I'm not really theorizing or anything. being a longtime A Song of Ice and Fire fan, I do understand how frustrating it is watching people theorize or criticize concepts in Game of Thrones that are covered in the novels. but I still want to watch it unspoiled. if I love it, when it's over it might be cool to then get to read the book as well, but to me, saying my enjoyment of the television show is somehow invalid without having experienced the rest of the franchise misses the point of adaptations in the first place.

yes, it's awesome for fans of Red Dragon to see it on the screen as Hannibal, but nobody produces an adapatation just for fans of the original because it's not soluble. even "canon-blind" I obviously already know that Hannibal is a cannibal etc, that's pretty ingrained in popular culture. but I'm watching because the show itself is well-written and interesting to me, and being a dramatic thriller, that means plot twists and suspense. book fans getting "frustrated" seems as silly as someone getting frustrated when they're watching a favourite movie with their friend who's only seeing it for the first time. the anticipation of "what will happen next" is part of the draw card of the show itself to hook viewers — why not just enjoy watching people find out the answer to that and reacting, rather than getting annoyed because you already know?
