It's horror movie season in the US and my favorite type is zombies. I also love campy B movies. Watching Dead Snow 2 right now and I think it ranks up there with Shawn of the Dead and Evil Dead 3: Army of Darkness.

What is your top pick for whatever genre?

The books are fantastic as well.

I've only read the first so far. I was so disappointed in the movie because I loved the book so much!

I find that's books almost always tell a better story as well. I tend to watch shows first if both a show and a book are available for that reason.

Mileage may vary; I read the first one and found it to be an absolute slog and a snooze. No interest in reading on.

Completely different experience here, I was hooked immediately and chewed through the whole series right away.
