TV shows based on books

There’s been a bit of chat on other posts about Outlander, a TV series based on the hugely popular books by Diana Gabaldon.
There’s a bit of timey wimey business, hot-blooded romance, blokes in kilts, fab production values, great character acting and historic costumes but it’s definitely not a bonnet drama.
The first season is screening on SBS at the moment so it’s not too late to jump aboard if you’re interested. The first episode is on Catch Up right now.
What other TV shows sparked by books do you enjoy watching?
Game of Thrones would be my top choice, although since I started with the books I would always pick the thrill of racing through a book over the TV version, as excellent as it is.
