Comment on What's a highly-rated, critically acclaimed TV series that you couldn't get into, or have no interest in?

  The first couple of episodes drag, but it picks up later. You might try the books instead. Or even the audiobooks — the narrator for those does an excellent job.

    I did try the first audio book and found myself unmoved. It wasn’t awful, but I wasn’t as impressed as most seem to be. I’m glad it was enjoyed, but I was ready for it to be over long before it was.

    That was around six years ago, though. I might feel differently if I tried again today.

    Thanks for the recommendations!

  I can understand this one. I enjoyed the series enough to go back and read the books, but the acting overall was not great
