No idea whether this is true to the books or not and don't really care. As TV entertainment I'd rate it a 6 or 7 though, the production value and sets are stunning and at times the story is really interesting. Problem is there's WAY too much down time where it isn't, a couple of the characters are downright annoying too. The show also CONSTANTLY jumps back and forth in time with virtually no indication of when or where you are supposed to be, not helped by the fact that the settings and the dress of the characters is largely identical even with 100+ years separating them, the first season is definitely the worst in this regard. Generally well acted but at times it's hard to keep motivated enough to keep watching, without the plot down time and time jump confusion (which at times seems to be there just for the sake of it) it would easily have been an 8 or a 9.
