That's a great question. As rich as the show is, the books are even more detailed -- three of the four novels are 400 pages or longer. But the series is just 34 episodes and I went through them very quickly. I think it's more of a matter of how you want to spend your time and whether reading or watching works better for your schedule. I think you'll get the same enjoyment regardless.
Shari, would you recommend reading the ‘My Brilliant Friend’ books before watching the TV series or dive straight into the show?
