      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
