Are you a fan of the cable series?
Grimmnar	27 Dec 2016 12:18 p.m. PST
Yes
John Leahy	27 Dec 2016 12:29 p.m. PST
Yes.
Dynaman8789	27 Dec 2016 12:35 p.m. PST
Yes – more so than the books now too.
Karellian Knight	27 Dec 2016 12:39 p.m. PST
No.
Winston Smith	27 Dec 2016 12:47 p.m. PST
Yes. And I think that the HBO series is to be considered canon, with the books to be considered as fan fiction. You had your chance, George.
Cyrus the Great	27 Dec 2016 12:54 p.m. PST
Yes.
FingerandToeGlenn	27 Dec 2016 12:55 p.m. PST
No.
Bashytubits	27 Dec 2016 1:00 p.m. PST
yes.
Coyotepunc and Hatshepsuut	27 Dec 2016 1:08 p.m. PST
Not at all. I wasn't intrigued by the books to begin with, and the show held little interest for me either.
Thomas O	27 Dec 2016 1:09 p.m. PST
Better than the books, so yes. At least the HBO series will come to a conclusion.
The Beast Rampant	27 Dec 2016 1:13 p.m. PST
Yes. I have read the books too, but have lost all respect for GRRM and his coquettish ass-dragging. I don't care if he ever finishes the series- maybe he doesn't, either.
nnascati	27 Dec 2016 1:17 p.m. PST
Yes, never read the books, and doubt if I will.
evbates	27 Dec 2016 1:37 p.m. PST
Yes
Norman D Landings	27 Dec 2016 1:41 p.m. PST
It's BRILLIANT. Watch it. Wait til releases on DVD. Watch it again with commentary.
skippy0001	27 Dec 2016 1:50 p.m. PST
Yes-Winston, I'm with you. Still would like SG1 to show up and see a Battletech version.
Disco Joe	27 Dec 2016 1:55 p.m. PST
Yes when I can see them for free.
McKinstry	27 Dec 2016 2:23 p.m. PST
Yes
Cerdic	27 Dec 2016 2:29 p.m. PST
Never read the books. Never seen the series 'cos I don't have any pay TV. I'm not a fan of fantasy so don't feel like I'm missing out.
Frederick	27 Dec 2016 2:29 p.m. PST
Read some of the books and will probably eventually watch the series – but not yet
Brian Smaller	27 Dec 2016 2:33 p.m. PST
Yes – but also like the books but the tv series is easier to consume – Martin's writing style I find pretty hard to wade through at times.
Oberlindes Sol LIC	27 Dec 2016 2:35 p.m. PST
I've watched the DVDs through the season that ends with the Red Wedding. It's OK, and I'll probably watch more in the future, but I can't call myself a fan.
Old Peculiar	27 Dec 2016 2:35 p.m. PST
Like the books at first, then got bored and annoyed by the contrived plots and mindless cruelty, I just reckon the author had started playing with the readership. Watch the HBO series on DBV as I want to know how the tale ends, but I will not be reading the books.
David O Brien	27 Dec 2016 2:39 p.m. PST
Never seen it.
Tango01	27 Dec 2016 2:47 p.m. PST
Strongly yes…! Amicalement Armand
WarWizard	27 Dec 2016 3:02 p.m. PST
No.
Cardinal Ximenez	27 Dec 2016 3:03 p.m. PST
I've never seen it.
freerangeegg	27 Dec 2016 3:18 p.m. PST
Yes
Stosstruppen	27 Dec 2016 3:26 p.m. PST
Yep
JMcCarroll	27 Dec 2016 3:55 p.m. PST
Yes. Nudity keep me though the first season.
nevals	27 Dec 2016 4:02 p.m. PST
Yes. My daughter is 17 years old; this is one of "our things", " Quality times", watching the TV series together. We discuss the events , the character's motivations, she asks me how the TV show differs from the books. At first I was maybe a casual watcher, now I can hardly wait for the next season.
Doctor X	27 Dec 2016 4:46 p.m. PST
Yes
Jeigheff	27 Dec 2016 5:07 p.m. PST
No, but no offense meant to those who like it.
Patrick R	27 Dec 2016 5:22 p.m. PST
I watch the series out of interest, but I'm not really a fan.
jdpintex	27 Dec 2016 5:36 p.m. PST
Nope. One of the very few books that I have ever quit. Boring as hell so I gave up after about half way through. No desire to watch the show either.
Rudysnelson	27 Dec 2016 5:46 p.m. PST
Yes, I got the last season for Christmas.
Joes Shop	27 Dec 2016 5:50 p.m. PST
No.
Wackmole9	27 Dec 2016 6:14 p.m. PST
NO
79thPA	27 Dec 2016 6:27 p.m. PST
I've never read the books or seen a single minute of the show.
benglish	27 Dec 2016 6:44 p.m. PST
Not for me. Liked the first season, but couldn't sustain interest past that.
zoneofcontrol	27 Dec 2016 6:51 p.m. PST
Yes.
Ragbones	27 Dec 2016 7:01 p.m. PST
Nope
Dentatus	27 Dec 2016 7:53 p.m. PST
No.
jurgenation	27 Dec 2016 8:12 p.m. PST
yes
Weasel	27 Dec 2016 8:22 p.m. PST
Nope. I like parts of it and I respect their monumental achievement, I just find that I'd rather watch a historical drama or a more "fantasy" series instead.
Buck215	27 Dec 2016 8:52 p.m. PST
Nope. Saw a couple of episodes when HBO offered free showings, but could not get into it. Now we have free HBO for a couple of months and HBO is showing a binge of it. Tried a couple of episodes again, could not relate to it, so I watched "Keanu", instead…
Ed Mohrmann	27 Dec 2016 8:59 p.m. PST
Certainly not !
x42brown	27 Dec 2016 10:47 p.m. PST
Never seen it read the first book back when it first came out not impressed. x42
bandit86	27 Dec 2016 10:48 p.m. PST
It's great!!! So yes
Toronto48	28 Dec 2016 12:18 a.m. PST
Yes for the TV series a big no for the books
