To be fair, both of these things happened in the books. Except the Red Wedding with regards to Talisa/Jeyne, but everything else happened. They were following it.
Oh I'm not implying they didn't happen in the books. But there's a significant experiential difference between the written word and having it dramatically filmed, expertly recreated with special effects, centre-framed and shots lingered upon.
The showrunners revelled in the sadism and sexual sadism way too much for my tastes.
How would you depict a world as low and as violent as ASOIAF without doing that for specific plot moments like that though?
