Shows that are great

Game of Thrones I love the book series A Song of Ice and Fire and I was a bit apprehensive as to whether they can properly turn the first book into a good TV series. I was absolutely floored by how great the TV series adaptation is (they're filming the second season yay!). I'd recommend anyone who have watched the series (and liked it) to read the book, if you haven't done so already.

There's lots of adult themes in the series though as well as violence and a bit of gore so not recommended for the young and/or squeamish.
