<p>Anyone planning on watching the 8 episode series on Starz? The first 2 are currently available on-line, but I haven’t seen them yet.</p>
<p>I read the book and would love to see the series. Don’t know if we get Starz, though. Perhaps it will be available on NetFlix.</p>
<p>I plan to watch it on Starz. I also saw that it is also on Encore if some of you have that channel.</p>
<p>[The</a> Pillars Of The Earth](<a href=“http://www.starz.com/originals/ThePillarsOfTheEarth/Pages/title.aspx?src=starz_mktg&med=referral&cmp=pillars]The”>http://www.starz.com/originals/ThePillarsOfTheEarth/Pages/title.aspx?src=starz_mktg&med=referral&cmp=pillars)</p>
<p>Can’t wait…loved the book.</p>
<p>I didn’t even know about the series. I loved, loved, loved the book! Thanks so much.</p>
<p>I also loved the book. I can’t believe that they finally put it on film.</p>
<p>I will be spending a lot of time on planes and trains soon, and was thinking this would be a good book to bring along. After reading the reviews on Amazon, I am hesitating only because a number of reviews mentioned gratuitous sex and violence. For those of you who have read the book, what do you think?</p>
<p>I wouldn’t say there was much of that. I am not comfortable with either of those things and I wasn’t bothered at all. It’s a wonderful book.</p>
<p>There is sex and violence in the book, but I thought it was in context of the story and the times, not gratuitous, in my opinion. I haven’t read the sequel yet, but my d has and loved it also. I also like Follet’s Night Over Water, but I guess that’s a different thread.</p>
<p>I just got my alumni magazine. One of the professors was recommending the book as a great summer read. There were some other interesting books on the list, too:

<p>Thanks for the post mentioning the series being on Encore. We do not have Starz, but do have Encore. We will be taping it for a family member who loved the book but does not have cable. Looking forward to seeing it!</p>
<p>It was one of my favorite books. I just saw the first two are on On Demand, so I will be catching up this weekend.</p>
<p>It’s also on Hulu.</p>
<p>What episode is on tonight on Encore? I am going to tivo it, but don’t want to watch it if there are others that I haven’t seen.</p>
<p>^^^Tonight is the premiere. !0:00 ET.</p>
<p>pageturner – yup, just got my copy of that alumni magazine, too. I really enjoyed the book, and, as always, I’m glad to have read the book before seeing the movie. Nice to know it’s on Hulu.</p>
<p>I just watched the first episode on demand, and loved it. Makes me want to reread the book.</p>
<p>Yay! So glad to hear that, gamom2.</p>
<p>LOVED Pillars of the Earth. Also loved the sequel World Without End.</p>
<p>They are the kind of books that you are sad to get to the end and just wish it would keep going. I recommend them to everyone who hasn’t read them.<br>
Don’t be put off by the thickness of the book. You’ll fly thru it.</p>
<p>I’m so mad I don’t get Starz. I’ll have to check for Encore but don’'t think I have that one either:(</p>
<p>Did someone say we can watch it on Hulu online? Is that after the episodes air on TV?</p>
<p>Episodes 1 and 2 are currently available on the Starz website and available to watch for free even if you are not a subscriber. I don’t know if they will post future episodes on-line or if you will have to wait for DVD release.</p>
