In general, I've been a bit annoyed at how "put together" some of the characters seem.
Maybe it's just me, but I always pictured the Ghiscari as really swarthy, hairy, sweaty, lavishly adorned... not the clean-cut, contemporary look that some of them had. They shouldn't look like they've walked off the street in LA, thrown on a robe, and had a bit of eye liner painted on. Another one that bothers me is Craster. He was gruff and surly and wrapped in furs, but... I don't know, he still came off as a bit too "clean" to me.
Also, way too many characters are white. Thoros is Myrish, so he should have been a bit darker skinned. Daario Naharis is Tyroshi, so he's horribly miscast also. Some of the Ghiscari even looked like white guys, which is so odd. And I know Melisandre has historically been visualized as white, but she's from Asshai—you'd think she would be a bit more exotic than an Anglo-Saxon-esque woman with a generic accent.
But I guess this is inevitable when you're talking about a television show. For some reason, TV shows often don't seem to be able to bring in as diverse and interesting actors as films do.
