As a fan Of the novel I will say that this is incredibly faithful and if you like the novel and you will definitely like this serious also I do think. It took me a little To Get into the series but once I did I was on board and the time jumps were very cool and interesting And overall it's a very Violent And gory t v series They did a really good job of adapting this TV series into show. I highly recommend this T v series And there are times when the show can get very intense and real and I loved every single second of it Also there are nice references and nods that set up the future Can't wait for the next season.
