I loved the books, and was very sad to read that the author died recently.
I saw two or three of the TV series but felt they made Frost into a much more loveable and hence boring character compared with the books, which had a bite.
Bit like Cracker, really -- the first couple were great as Cracker was such an awful person. But a few more episodes and he was a "loveable rogue" which was the point at which I switched off.
