It´s really a well written post. I haven´t read the books but I have watched the series. At the beginning I was not inclined to it because I'm a bit prudish with violence and nudity but so many of the locations are close to where I live, and even some friends of mine collaborated in costumes, so I was compelled to watch and then I watched all of it in a little time haha :) There is another tv series about War of the Roses.
