Anyone else not watching since they have not read the books?

[Alex, The G and T]

I had the opposite problem when the series was on in the US, half a year ago.

I bought the first four volumes in an e-book omnibus, and was reading about one book ahead of the show.

Keeping the plot lines and characters sorted out between book time and series time was beyond confusing. I couldn't watch the series.

Watch the series first, then read the books.

Or, read all the books, then watch the series.
