Yes. I watched the whole series before starting the books and I found the books to be much, much better once I got to the part that the series hadn't touched.

The problem is that the plot is close enough to the books that you know what's coming, but the characters and details are enough that it's still worth reading the books. But it is a slog if you've seen the series first.
