Reading the books I think would add to the show. You will know more about some of the characters and where they come from.
The show now has a lot of expectations and it isn't going to be cheap to produce, I really hope it has the financial backing to finish with teh same quality it has started with.

Yeah no kidding, but I just want to learn as go and then read the books when Im done
I don't want to know what happens

I'd throw Mad Men and Breaking Bad into the mix as well.

I know lol. I as just messing ith you. Not too good at hinting at sarcasm myself though
Lebron James will never be as good as Michael Jordan, thus we should get rid of his nickname, "The King".

POSSIBLE SPOILER****
It has the "Frame" of Hamlet. Sons father is killed while he is VERY young(Might not have been born, don't remember). His step-dad and mother pretty much conspired against him, because his step dad was VP of the club and his dad was Pres. That is how it got started pretty much, it is a really good chow, but i can't say much more without giving away a lot of info. VERY complicated though.

It gets a bad rep for the violence and sex, but Spartacus has some excellent writing. For me, it is extremely tough to pick between that and Game of Thrones

NoVa, you read the books? I just watched season 1 for the first time and had some trouble keeping up with all the characters for a few episodes, but once I picked it up, the end of the season was amazing. Not enough time to watch it a second time before Sunday, but I'm a big fan. I want to read the books instead, but I heard season 1 followed the book almost perfectly. So I'll have to watch season two then read books 3-5 this summer.

Also, just finished Breaking Bad, that might be my favorite. Debating whether to watch Sopranos or Wire next, any suggestions?

Some serious trolling going on ITT.
True Blood even getting mentioned made me laugh so hard I thouhg I was going to suffocate.
The Wire and the Sopranos would be my tops.
GoT has a chance to be right up there though.
You guys just wait. Some serious stuff to come that season one doesn't even hold a candle to.

Except the books are better so go ahead and start at book one.

It just might. I am watching Season 1 for the 3rd time. I am on book 5. All the books are excellent. They are setup very well for the next couple years if they just follow the books.

Book 4 definitely wasn't as good as 3 (which was the best in the series IMO) but book 5 is pretty damn good so far.

Anyone here ever see The SHIELD? IMO thats GOAT. Sopranos was real good but too many senseless, bad episodes for my liking. Sons of Anarchy is getting good too.

The Wire is much better than the Shield IMO.
Never watched SOA.
