If you want to enjoy the drama it may be better not to read the novel.
I immensely enjoyed the complex characters and clever conspiracies in the novel. However, once some “enlightened” scriptwriter has adapted the story by dumbing down the plot so that a five-year-old can follow it and replacing all the interesting bits by the usual tropes, it will become a disappointment.
I wish I was wrong about this, but sadly there are too many precedents of good stories being completely mangled by the scriptwriters because they seem to think that their audience is too dumb for something clever.
