Thank you for clarifying! I'm maybe projecting too much spy-ness into the portrayal of his character, because I assumed indeed he's not ALWAYS stinking drunk, but likes to project this so others underestimate him. Generally I'm admitting adaptions to try their own spin on stories, so I wouldn't mind the mismatch with the source material. But I see that the show's Lamb would be a different Lamb than the book's, and I can understand the irritation about that. :)
