I haven't read the source material but I think I'm reasonably familiar with it from spoilers/summaries/etc.
I don't think "held too closely" is an option here, I mean the diversion from the source is pretty dramatic.
-- We've got a main character that doesn't exist in the comic
-- We've got multiple main characters that are already long since dead in the comic
-- We've got/had characters that either don't exist in the original
or may be composites of characters from the source material
-- Skill sets / personality traits differ from the source material by varying degrees, but at least a couple of those have been fairly significant IMO (Andrea's relationship with guns being a great example)
edit to add: Make that at least one main character that's already long since dead
