House of Cards closely followed by The 100 for me. Surprised Elementary and other Sherlock Holmes based series aren't on the list. Masters of Sex is also outstanding
Pretty Little Liars and The 100 I find the most addictive story-wise. I'm not as addicted to the stories in Outlander and Game Of Thrones, but I do enjoy them.
Oh man, I just realized I left out Hannibal as an option! And also the choice of others :/ Oh well, mistakes happen xD. Anyway, it's interesting seeing so many choices that I didn't know were there, like Justified! I had no idea it was book inspired
Hannibal didn't click with me straight away, then I remembered!
Justified is based on a short story by Elmore Leonard called Fire In The Hole. He ended up liking the show so much that he wrote a collection of short stories focused on Raylan but also characters the show created.
Game of.thrones: I've read the books and they are awesome. There are differences in the tv show, specially in this season but I think both the books and the tv show are great. The Vampire Diaries: The books are very different from the tv show. Even Stefan and Damon 's background is not the same and their personalities are different. I prefer the tv show by far. I think it is much better and interesting. I didn't vote for this one but I've also read Under the Dome and it is an wonderful book. It is normal that the tv show is different because the writers are adapting a tv show of various seasons from just one book. But in my opinion under the dome should've been a mini-series. The second season was awful.
It's interesting to think about shows like Penny Dreadful and OUAT as book based. I went for the more literal sense of book inspired in which one physical book is adapted to series, but this way it opens up the possibilities to add plenty more shows.
Yeah, I also give it the edge for that, it pushed the limits of network TV. GoT, while amazing, gets a pass for being on premium cable, so you could say that The 100 is more daring, even though we can't undermine the importance of GoT.
I think a 0.001 tenth of me prefers The 100 overall, but it's such a tiny line of preference that I normally just regard both shows as equally amazing
The 100 as a book is an interesting read, somewhat enjoyable, but a far cry from the quality of the TV adaption. It's one of the few cases in which the adaption is better than the book; Jason Rothenberg took an interesting premise and turned into gold
The 100 and True Blood are amazing shows compared to those awful books. Game of Thrones really knocked it off. Such complex and rich books transfered in such a good show on par with LOTR with me. Although I prefer the movie to the books. With GOT I still love both. Really nice and we'll done adaption imo also BITTEN (have not scene S2).
1 - Game of Thrones (decapitated) head and shoulders above all others.... Then. 2a - Justified if it counts being based on a short story..... Then... 2b - Bosch. Few crime drams match their book inspirations for quality. Bosch does.
Tie between Outlander and Game of Thrones, with Outlander having the slight edge for cinematography, music, and acting skills. Oh nevermind, It's Outlander all the way!
Easiest vote ever! Can't think of another show from an outstanding novel that brings the characters to life with such a depth of feeling and charisma. Outlander is the best series with the most talented actors to come along since TV was invented. Thank God Diana Gabaldon has many more books to film with these wonderful characters!
I was shocked to see it. I came here out of curiosity to see how the poll panned out, and BAM! 2,570 votes for Outlander when a few days ago it was at 76. The 100 would have won if it wasn't for Outlander, but as a fan of The 100 I'll take that challenge: The 100 fandom shall grow as big as Outlander!

ReplyDeleteHouse of Cards closely followed by The 100 for me. Surprised Elementary and other Sherlock Holmes based series aren't on the list. Masters of Sex is also outstanding
Outlander (an absolute excellent show), The 100!!! and Game of Thrones :)
ReplyDeleteOutlander and The Vampire Diaries
ReplyDeleteThe best show on TV Game of Thrones
ReplyDeletePretty Little Liars and The 100 I find the most addictive story-wise.
ReplyDeleteI'm not as addicted to the stories in Outlander and Game Of Thrones, but I do enjoy them.
Listed: Game of Thrones, The Leftovers, Orange Is The New Black
ReplyDeleteNot listed: Justified, Hannibal.
High 5 for Castle !
ReplyDeleteOutlander. Followed by Game of Thrones and The 100.
ReplyDeleteGame of Thrones & Outlander.
ReplyDeleteFrom this list: Outlander and Game of Thrones
ReplyDeleteOff this list: The Musketeers, Poldark, Penny Dreadful, and When Calls the Heart
As much as I adore Orange is the New Black, I have to go with The 100 and Game of Thrones
ReplyDeleteOh man, I just realized I left out Hannibal as an option! And also the choice of others :/
ReplyDeleteOh well, mistakes happen xD. Anyway, it's interesting seeing so many choices that I didn't know were there, like Justified! I had no idea it was book inspired
Penny Dreadful is book inspired? No idea! I may check it out!
ReplyDeleteSame for me! I had a hard time leaving Orange is the New Black out, but in terms of enjoyment GoT and The 100 are among the highest ranks
ReplyDeleteThe 100 and Orange is the New Black. Those were two of my favorite shows of the last year. Also love Game of Thrones, Masters of Sex and Outlander.
ReplyDeletePenny Dreadful isn't a book, but several of the show's characters are adapted from famous novels. Victor Frankenstein and Dorian Gray for example.
ReplyDeleteGreat poll, BTW!! : )
TVD - for the fact that the show much better than books.
ReplyDeleteI was going to include Penny Dreadful and OUAT as well since their technically based on several old books.
ReplyDeleteNot the 100?
ReplyDeleteHannibal didn't click with me straight away, then I remembered!
ReplyDeleteJustified is based on a short story by Elmore Leonard called Fire In The Hole. He ended up liking the show so much that he wrote a collection of short stories focused on Raylan but also characters the show created.
My favorite has to be the 100 because it is only Network television and can be that gorey and awesome
ReplyDeleteI haven't read the books & i don't intend to-I like the surprise of element on a weekly basis.
ReplyDeleteI thought about including OUaT too. ; )
ReplyDeleteGame of.thrones: I've read the books and they are awesome. There are differences in the tv show, specially in this season but I think both the books and the tv show are great.
ReplyDeleteThe Vampire Diaries: The books are very different from the tv show. Even Stefan and Damon 's background is not the same and their personalities are different. I prefer the tv show by far. I think it is much better and interesting.

The second season was awful.
Game of Thrones & Bosch
ReplyDeleteThanks!
ReplyDeleteIt's interesting to think about shows like Penny Dreadful and OUAT as book based. I went for the more literal sense of book inspired in which one physical book is adapted to series, but this way it opens up the possibilities to add plenty more shows.
I agree 100% about UTD. The first season was pretty interesting and intriguing, but the second one jumped off a cliff
ReplyDeleteYeah, I also give it the edge for that, it pushed the limits of network TV. GoT, while amazing, gets a pass for being on premium cable, so you could say that The 100 is more daring, even though we can't undermine the importance of GoT.

ReplyDeleteIt's one of the few cases in which the adaption is better than the book; Jason Rothenberg took an interesting premise and turned into gold
What about BBC Sherlock? It's my fav, followed by Game of Thrones.
ReplyDeleteThe 100 & Outlander :)
ReplyDeleteOutlander and Game of Thrones for me
ReplyDeleteLike me except I don't read the 100...
ReplyDeleteThe 100 and True Blood are amazing shows compared to those awful books.
ReplyDeleteGame of Thrones really knocked it off. Such complex and rich books transfered in such a good show on par with LOTR with me. Although I prefer the movie to the books. With GOT I still love both.
Really nice and we'll done adaption imo also BITTEN (have not scene S2).
Agreed. I've read most of the books and liked some of them, but I stopped when the TV show became The Vampire Diaries to me.
ReplyDeleteI would say Sherlock. Best remake ever!
ReplyDeleteWhere's Legend of The Seeker?!!!
ReplyDeleteVampire Diaries,PLL
ReplyDeleteGame of Thrones and The 100.
ReplyDeleteTrue Blood
ReplyDeleteWhere is the Hannibal lecter trilogy (Red Dragon, Silence of the Lambs and Hannibal) by Thomas Harris?
ReplyDeleteI voted for Games of Thrones by default.
PLL & TVD
ReplyDelete1 - Game of Thrones (decapitated) head and shoulders above all others.... Then.
ReplyDelete2a - Justified if it counts being based on a short story..... Then...
2b - Bosch. Few crime drams match their book inspirations for quality. Bosch does.
Bones? Elementary?
ReplyDeleteWell GoT is the only one I've both read and watched so that's the one I'm voting for.
ReplyDeleteOutlander for sure!
ReplyDeleteAlso Poldark, True Blood, and Gossip Girl that aren't on there
Has to be Outlander for me - awesome acting and a kick-ass adaptation!
ReplyDeleteoutlander all the way
ReplyDeleteTie between Outlander and Game of Thrones, with Outlander having the slight edge for cinematography, music, and acting skills. Oh nevermind, It's Outlander all the way!
ReplyDeleteOutlander and Poldark!
ReplyDeleteAnd then the Outlander fans found out lol
ReplyDeleteCurrent: Bosch
ReplyDeleteOther favorite series is an oldie but a goodie: The Thornbirds
The Vampire Diaries, but I've always thought the books were better than the show.
ReplyDeleteOutlander. Easy as that. ♥
ReplyDeleteRizzoli & Isles will always be my #1, but I also like House of Cards!
ReplyDeleteEasiest vote ever! Can't think of another show from an outstanding novel that brings the characters to life with such a depth of feeling and charisma. Outlander is the best series with the most talented actors to come along since TV was invented. Thank God Diana Gabaldon has many more books to film with these wonderful characters!
ReplyDeleteOutlander!!!
ReplyDeleteOutlander is definitely the best show on this list so safe to say it's book to show is worth a number one spot! :)
ReplyDeleteI was shocked to see it. I came here out of curiosity to see how the poll panned out, and BAM! 2,570 votes for Outlander when a few days ago it was at 76.
