The Magicians: The books were good, but the TV show really was in a class all its own. And it did away with using obscure words just because, that was annoying.
Game of Thrones: At this rate, ASOIAF is never getting done, so I’m by default giving it to the show for actually finishing the job.
Good Omens: The first season brought the book to life, but there wasn’t source material beyond that. The second season did a great job fleshing out the characters and moving the story forward into the final season.
I’d rather the five released ASOIAF stay as they are, perpetually unfinished than anything close to the hatchet job that was the GoT show ever be released in book. For me, sometimes just finishing isn’t enough. The books > than the show 10,000 times.
Read the magicians after watching the series and it was such a drag. As mentioned in the Amazon ratings the writing style is just tedious to read…
The emotional extent of the series was so much deeper in my opinion.

Okay, fair. I’m mostly just frustrated that GRRM is taking so damn long.
