I doubt anyone would go in with the expectation this will be "faithful" to the source material, seeing Boyens' involvement, and Newline's.
Having said that, it is a subject matter, or story pulled out of the Appendices that I do find interesting. I'd be most curious to see how they handle Helm's character, if the creators decide to gloss over his racism against the Dunlandings.
Jackson, in TTT, barely covers the Dunlandings, I recall a short scene where Saruman is rousing them up about the "horsemen taking their lands." It's not really broached in the books either, Gamling mentions Saruman is fueling their old hatred, but that's all I can recall.
