I got back into GoT in season 7 when the show switched from being character driven to the show being plot driven. I have friends who watched every episode and I have friends who stopped watching after 2 or 3 seasons because they felt "nothing every happens" on GoT. One week I noticed everyone was getting together to watch GoT and I felt left out. So I hopped back in.

Because of course they would have a hydroponics system, not soil…

You should read her other books too: The Glass Hotel and the Sea of Tranquility. All 3 tie together

There were rave reviews of Station Eleven the TV series, so I read the book first before watching.
They were weirdly both disappointing in different ways, and the book and TV series don't really sync up either. The TV series deviates a lot from the book, with some confusing decisions like >!changing and/or basically omitting lead characters, letting one character live and become a villain, and completely changing the ending!<

Anime...Ascendance of a Bookworm.
Got hooked on the first 2 seasons, and now am on book 23 and eagerly awaiting the next one!

And the 3 main broadcast networks dealt with that back in the day. There was less competition, but more from themselves.

I got hooked during season two, read the books before season three, and felt so in-the-know about the upcoming weddings!
And now, ten years later, I'm thinking of just donating my hardcover copies at this point.

Of Mice and Men. I saw the Gary Sinease/John Malkovich movie and it blew me away. I read the book shortly afterward.
Game of Thrones. I read the first 2 books. Loved the show, but the books were dull, IMO. I got VERY bored with the lengthy descriptions of food and armies marching by, getting a play-by-play of every banner held by the men and hedge-knights. Gave up on it.
Dances With Wolves. Incredible movie, and it was VERY close to the book. I liked the movie ending a little better though.
Jurassic Park. Movie blew me a way. Then I read the book and it blew me away all over again.

If you are a fan of horror and don't mind seriously messed up things then Bentley Little is superb. However the book and TV show are extremely different like almost am adaptation in name only. Also feel like I should give a brief content warning - a dog gets harmed in the book

People should read The Magicians. After the first season the books and show diverge a lot. I love both though.
