I gave up on HBO, pretty much just watch what I need to watch when it hits iTunes and can be downloaded. The first season was very well done. I'm not willing to re-subscribe to HOB just for this one show, instead, I just downloaded the first 5 books. Really excellent. I'll pick up season 2 when it's available on iTunes next year, but the books are very well conceived and well-written with a lot of subtlety added in the narrative that can't be achieved on the TV show. Really fleshes out the characters quite well.
