I've seen some episodes of the TV show and it's different from the book. Both got the atmosphere right, I could almost feel the cold and different conditions of the rich and poor classes. The book had a touch of a Bosch novel which I liked - gritty atmosphere, intrepid detective with secret desires. I didn't like how the murder was resolved though, the motive wasn't clear, there were no clues that pointed to the real killers, it felt like the ending was done just to have a twist.
