Cult viewing. It was a few years before I started watching, it's an acquired taste for some, lots of violence and sex, but the characters and story are gripping. A roller coaster of twists and turns every series. Based loosely upon things such as War of the Roses, Hadrian's Wall, some other aspects of history.
I have listened to the audio books, unabridged, and to be honest, they are not as good as the TV adaptation in terms of story. The sets, costumes, locations are very interesting in themselves, a whole tourist industry in Ireland! Some big name actors as well, Charles Dance, Diana Rigg, Sean Bean, Jim Broadbent to name a few. Series are often quite a low price if bought via iTunes, usually around 10 hours viewing with lots of extras. We don't have Sky either, so I am always playing catch up!
But be warned, as I say very violent and you wouldn't let your Granny watch the sex scenes!
