2014- Game of Thrones

Obviously. And if you're over it, well, facts don't change. Created by David Benioff and D.B. Weiss, adapted from "A Song of Ice and Fire" from George R.R. Martin’s series. The first book is "A Game of Thrones." This series is probably one of the greatest television shows ever created, let alone a great adaptation.  Seasons 1-5 were my personal favorites.

2015- Orange is the New Black

OITNB wasn’t released in 2015, but it was at its peak. Based on Piper Kerman’s memoir of the same name, the book tells the story of Kerman’s 15 months in a women’s prison in Connecticut. The series obviously develops this much further.

2016 - The Night Manager

Based on the novel of the same name by John le Carré, the adaptation isn’t perfectly faithful to the novel, but it’s a near masterpiece. Many of John Le Carré’s spy novels have been adapted - "Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy" has even been made into both a film and a TV series.

2017 - The Handmaid's Tale

The ability to take a story that is so incredibly heady and turn it into this external beast of a show is a screenwriter’s dream. I’m not sure how I feel about the last two seasons, but the first season of this show, adapted from Margaret Atwood’s novel, is one of the best book-to-tv show adaptations I have ever seen.

2018- Killing Eve

Why is this show so good? It only has 8 episodes, and I’ve appreciated those episodes more than entire series. The performances from Sandra Oh and Jodie Comer, dare I say, kill it. The series is based on the Villanelle novel series by Luke Jennings.
