Haven't read the books though so I couldn't say. The show is decent, although at times it feels like watching a soap opera. Nowhere near Dexter, Breaking Bad, or Mad Men for example.
So stoked to finally be starting the next season of Mad Men! :)
Don't know any of these shows, but it's nice to have some new things to check out ;-)
It's the basis of the True Blood TV show.
I haven't started them, but my girlfriend says they are excellent.
