Live Poll: What Binge-Worthy TV Most Makes You Want to "Binge-Read?"

Below are the highest ranked (by Metacritic) TV series that are based on books. Instead of choosing your favorite series, which story, book, or series of books would you most like to read, or read again?

The shows are not in the order in which Metacritic ranked them.

http://www.imdb.com/list/ls064978927/?publish=save

Poll: http://www.imdb.com/poll/b8jyE96PFZI/

INCLUSION CRITERIA:

Metacritic's List: The list includes TV series on the air before the summer of 2014, when the list was made, and after 1985, which is how far back Metacritic's list goes. See the full Metacritic list here: http://www.metacritic.com/feature/best-tv-series-based-on-books

This list for the poll: To break a tie that would have resulted in a list that would have exceeded the allowed 35 options, the two series with the lowest IMDb ratings were omitted.

GOT.

I have a suggestion.  How about some TV shows based on comic books like Legion or Arrow?

This list is taken directly from Metacritic and they chose to not include series based on comic books, even ones for which they calculated a rating. They list series from comic books in their exclusionary criteria. That's a good idea for a poll, though, and one that you'd probably do really well.

Loved the revised suggestion, ruby!

I would vote for The Leftovers, then.

"after 1988, when Metacritic began rating TV shows" -- Does not appear to be accurate. Metacritic's own list starts at 1985. Metacritic did not exist until 1999. I guess they just chose a starting point because they don't have review data for many older shows.

Thanks for the correction. I'm not sure where I thought I got that information. I'll change it.

I guess the title should say:
What Binge-Worthy TV Show Most Makes You Want to "Binge-Read?"

I used the implied "series" or "show" (like NBC's "must see TV"), instead of typing it out, to try to keep the title from being too long. I'll consider both ways or try to come up with something different. Thanks for the feedback, Jess.

One of the benefits of becoming an IMDb GS Champion is mind reading powers. ;-)

When I read stories, I tend to binge read them. For instance, I binge read "War and Peace" in high school during a weekend. It was part of our honors Russian History assignment. I usually prefer short stories over novels, since these are much easier to binge read.
