All 4 seasons watched now. Need something else to keep me going until Season 5 is out in about a year. Any suggestions?

The audiobooks got me through finishing Season 3 (about 2 years ago) and today. I've listened to first 5 and they're great. Haven't listened to one in a while now so will probably go to book 6 after finishing S4

I just rewatched season 1, it's WAY better than I remembered.

Looks like its been renewed for just one more season. I guess they might drop the last book. A helluva lot left of the story to fit into two seasons.

Are the books worth reading if you've watched the series.

Yes definitely

nudain · 25-11-2020, 21:22

Yeah, they're a great read. I bought them for Kindle a few months back, maybe 50e or so for the 8 books. Handy to have a good excuse to log off work for an hour each day and read at lunchtime. Burned through them.

Funnily enough, I didn't much care for the two books in the series I read but I really love the TV show. I also enjoyed the Long Price Quartet, which is written by Daniel Abraham who is one half of James S.A. Corey. So dunno what it was that was missing for me but I may end up finishing the series via the books.

+1, I thought the TV show was better than the books (which were pretty good too IMHO)

The books started great for me but had diminishing returns by the third.

Not enough character arc maybe. They were great to start though, and I tend to get bored with series quickly.

TV was really good, too.

It looks like the first 3 eps for the new season will drop on Dec 16. Then it's weekly after that. I've a funny feeling that I might have a bunch of "meetings" to attend the morning of the 17th.

I guess it worked for The Boys, despite the histrionic howls of some on Twitter. I like it myself, a nice halfway between a binge drop and drip feeding the drama.
