But I haven't actually watched a whole episode, so I really don't know.  |

The HBO series contains a lot more sex -- well, explicit sex -- than the books. I've read the first three books in the series on my Kindle and am ready to purchase and read the fourth. My mother-in-law gave me books 5 and 6 in paperback, so I'm not going to be able to justify buying the electronic versions; I don't think these qualify as "keepers".
