I've read every book in the series up to and including Morgawr (I think that was the last one I read). I thought about reading the original trilogy again before the tv show started, but then thought better of it, because I figured it would be different and I didn't want to be annoyed at the tv series, since it's been so many years since I've read the books, I only remember main themes anyway, and I thought it'd make for less conflict. I am thinking of re-reading the entire series, plus the newer ones, maybe, after the show is over. Anyway, as to what I think so far, the sets, special effects, costume design, and production are great and I'm loving that. To me, I'm disappointed in some of the actors, specifically the ones that play Wil and Eretria, I just don't think they act very well. Haven't seen them in anything else to compare though. The girl who plays Amberle, is meh, but she is better than those two. I have always wanted these books to be made into movies since I read the first book back in the 80's. So, I was thrilled when it was announced that there would be a series. So far, I am liking it, just wish for stronger performances from those actors. Loving Manu Bennett as Allanon.
