Oh my! My advice.... SKIP the tv series and read the book.
I have read the book (a couple times) and am currently watching the show.
I am VERY disappointed in the TV show but I should have known since most movies are VERY vague adaptations of the books and I much prefer the book.
If you do watch the show, it would still be worth it to read the book because they are skipping sooooo much that is good stuff!
Definitely read the book though!
