Query: Surprisingly good

The books are always better. Always. Yet I feel compelled to watch any movie or show based on a book I liked and usually spend the whole time cringing. In this case though, the show managed to provide some solid entertainment without mutilating the characters and the story. There are definitely places where it slips into melodramatic corniness but for the most part its really enjoyable and definitely worth watching. I'm excited about season two and will be buying this season for dvd.
