Anyone else watch "The Pillars of the Earth?"

I like it, but then again I like shows like this.

1. Is that based on Ken Follett's book?

I had no idea they were making a movie out of it.

3. Yes it is...

and it's a mini-series on Starz. Netflix also has it on their instant watch. I haven't read the book, wish I had though, I like to read the books before watching. So I can't say how it measures up with the book, but so far I like the show.

6. I read the book years ago

when it came out in paperback and then read the sequel last year. Good books. :D

2. I caught an episode on the 101, but I don't have Showtime. (n/t)

4. Is that on already?

I don't have Starz. Or whatever channel it's on. :(

BTW, it's a much better book than the follow-up one he did.

5. Yes, love the show.

It is on Netflix instant view, 3 great episodes to watch so far.

I need to read the book now.

7. I saw Netflix has it..

they did the same thing with Spartacus:Blood and Sand...another show I love.

I want to read the book too. I hate reading after I've seen the movie/series.

8. Spartacus was good also, not for little kids.

More people will watch this show and Spartacus on Netflix then the cable channel.

I watched the show on Saturday morning, the show airs on Friday night.

I had heard for a long time about a sequel in the works, and was so
excited when it came out that I felt sure I had built myself up for
a by-now inevitable letdown.
.
An incredible sequel -- it was though it was one long seamless book.

Have read the first one twice -- ready for the sequel again.

10. How family friendly is it?

I'd like to watch it on Netflix, but it depends on the content. What would it be rated if it were a movie in the theaters?

11. My opinion..

not for younger kids. 16 and up I think would be ok. I don't know how strict you are about language, sex, and violence, but in my opinion 16 and older is fine.

This is how Netflix describes it..

Ratings
TV-MA Adult content, adult language, graphic violence and nudity

13. I wish I could

I really hope it ends up being put on dvd. I absolutely loved the book.
