OP
Can't decide if I want to watch. Does the series follow the book closely?

simply went into territory I wasn't willing to believe, so I doubt I'll be watching any more.
However, it is quite nice that you're enjoying it.

but it is fun i guess to learn a whole new business. She's retired. I've never seen it.
that's cool. I usually binge watch the series and after a few episodes I am wiped emotionally. Elisabeth Moss along with other cast members are great. It does scare me though. The first episode shows how the Senate was taken over by the crusade members.
