A big fan of the books, and as usual TV falls a little short of the books for a picky fan. As a series based on the books it does work okay considering the limits of time/ money, etc. well produced, stays true too the central storyline of the books. Love to see a film version of some of the books.

Up front I need to say that I cannot give an unbiased review of the series. I am a huge fan of the books and this is a sad pale imitation. In fact, the only similarity between the two, to be the character names.

The books are better but after saying that I wish this show had more than one season as I think it had great possibilities.
