I haven't read the books, therefore I like it. Lol

I read the books. And I still like this show. I think they did a good job of translating it to a TV show... So far.

It feels a lot faster than the books, which is a good thing.

Exactly what my wife says and she's also a big fan of the books.

Too late for me. I gave up, 2 episodes into Series 2.

For me, this show is kinda like McDonald's ice cream. It's barely able to be called what it's trying to be, and it's not that great, but I'm gonna eat it either way.

Man. Only seen episode 1 so far and even after the first two seasons it shocked me just how much they can deviate from the source material while still calling it the same thing.

I'm gonna keep watching because I want to see how far they get with it and I'm still interested in the show, it just feels like we were promised something amazing and what we got was a hastily made collection of action sequences and fan service sexytime.
