OT: HBO should adapt Ken Follett's 'The Century Trilogy'

Since Game of Thrones will end at 2018 with its eight season, I think Ken Follett's Century Trilogy(Fall of Giants, Winter of the World and Edge of Eternity, which will be out next year) will be a great successor to the show, because of its characters and its epic scope, covering the five families and its struggles against the backdrop of World War I. Maybe it could have like 6 seasons, with 10 episodes(GOT Format), 2 seasons each per book:

Season 1: Fall of Giants part 1

Season 2: Fall of Giants Part 2

Season 3: Winter of the World part 1

Season 4: Winter of the World part 2

Season 5: Edge of Eternity part 1

Season 6: Edge of Eternity part 2

Starring Cast:

- Grigoriy Dobrygin (Grigoriy Peshkov)

- Emilia Clarke(Maud Fitzherbert)

- Volker Bruch (Walter Von Ulrich)

- Perdita Weeks(Ethel Williams)

- Aaron Tveit(Gus Dewar)

- Michiel Huisman(Lev Peshkov)

- Lee Pace(Earl Fitzherbert)

- Richard Madden (Billy Williams)

- Harry Lloyd(Bernie Leckwith)

- Svetlana Khodchenkova (Princess Bea)

- Martin Wuttke (Otto Von Ulrich)

What d'you think?

Season 1

Episode 9:

- Bolshevik rebellion/march done in 1 episode, its hardly a battle. I'd like to see Neil Marshall direct, because of his epic scope on "Blackwater" and "Watchers of the Wall" and Grigori Peshkov being badass.

Episode 10:

-Grigori and Katerina reunite, the Tsar is abdicated, people celebrating in the streets of Moscow]

Season 2

Episode 9:

-Lev and Josef Vyalov's confrontation, Josef dies

Episode 10:

-Fitz and Ethel sees each other, Lloyd is introduced to him.

Actually you mean Lloyd, Billy was her brother who Fitz met during The Great War.
