Would you recommend the tv series if you have seen it? If yes, then books before tv, vice versa, or a mixed order? I ask this because this has become a common question with my friends when we want to maximize enjoyment of the series. Like how my friends would say watch the series first then read it because the book series is so much better but you'll enjoy watching first because you won't be constantly comparing the changes. I don't mean for you to use this specific logic but if you could go back in time and instruct your self how to approach the series. If not I'll just copy/paste this for the next answer that recommends a series with screen adaptation.
