Well, DH couldn't wait for me to read the books, so we went ahead and started watching the series last night.  Watched the first two episodes and we are hooked!  I'm shipping that disk back to netflix so we can get the next one PRONTO!

I've heard the first season roughly follows the first book.  I'm thinking we'll finish watching season 1 before I start the book.  Ya think?  It's not like I don't have anything ELSE to read.  ;)

I love the show! I wasn't reading the books while I was watching the first season, but that is completely personal choice. The whole first season was available on demand so we spent a whole day watching the first season. It was awesome! I hate waiting on Netflix!!!

But I must say, I was spoiled rotten watching them back to back with those cliff hangers. Now that it is new every Sunday, I am dying with anticipation!
