Book Series That Would Make Good "Game of Thrones" Style TV Shows

"Nowadays, a lot of the best TV shows are based on books, especially book series. But the amazing thing about science fiction and fantasy books is, there's always more riches to explore. We've barely scratched the surface, in fact. Here are 10 more book series that would make terrific TV shows.
To compile this post, we tried to think of book series that had enough material to sustain a TV series without having to start inventing characters and plot twists out of whole cloth in the first year or two. We also thought about series that have complex worldbuilding, intense political and social conflicts, and vivid characters who stick in your mind — without requiring massive space battles or dragon wars on a TV budget."
