That being said, TV series is excellent.

She is a funny one, you absolutely would no doubt about that but she's got a bit of a quirky look to her. She is not ashamed to release her chebs and what a fantastic set they are.
Anyway, tv series very good. Books brilliant

Quite simply one of the most visually stunning and entertaining drama series in the history of television.
