Staff Picks: TV Shows Based on Books

Our Staff Picks column is a new addition that takes you back to a time when video stores reigned supreme and the "Staff Picks" section was the place to find out what films were worthy of one's time. Of course, our version has a decidedly nude angle, as we suss out which films from a certain genre with great nudity. This week: 1970s sci-fi!

A few weeks ago, we took a look at movies based on books. However, books inspire much more than films - they also inspire TV shows! These are just a few of the hot TV shows that we recommend which are all based on books. Why read when you can watch?

Normal People

Sally Rooney wrote the tender novel that inspired this Hulu adaptation. This series was filled with nudity, namely from hottie Paul Mescal whom we got to know in a very intimate way in this series about two friends-with-benefits who wrestle with their feelings with one another for several years. It's a real 'will they or won't they?' when it comes to figuring out whether these two friends who have sex with each other should pursue a relationship together.

It's hard to deny having feelings for Paul Mescal. Just look at him! He's so sexy from his cock to his perky peach.

The Leftovers

Tom Perrotta wrote the novel that this popular sci-fi series is based on. Suddenly, two percent of the world's entire population disappears and those left behind try to make sense of what happened. Since it appears to be some kind of rapture, some religious zealots interpret the disappearances that way and things get wonky from there. Justin Theroux made his clothes disappear in several scenes that show off his fine ass.

The Leftovers delivered full meals when it came to hot guys going naked. There was a lot of bottomless nudity in this show including cock from Chris Zylka and Christopher Eccleston, but Jack Bennett's nudity is a personal favorite of mine. From his sculpted booty to his cock and balls, Jack Bennett is not the leftover. He's what's for dinner!

Y: The Last Man

Based on a very popular graphic novel by Pia Guerra and Brian K. Vaughn, Y: The Last Man takes place shortly after a disease went around that suddenly killed everyone with a Y chromosome...except for one. Yorrick is the last known man and he is played by Ben Schnetzer who goes nude in the pilot episode. That's our favorite way to be introduced!

The Sandman

Similar to Y The Last Man, The Sandman is a lauded graphic novel by the great Neil Gaiman. This series is pretty recent, so you likely already know that the young and handsome Tom Sturridge goes nude. The series is gorgeous and so is Sturridge's hot bod.

Game of Thrones

One of the most popular series in modern TV history, Game of Thrones came to us first from a series of books by George R. R. Martin. In this fantasy series, we were gifted nudity in practically every single episode. There were SO many nude dudes throughout the series and there were even a fair number of cocks.

Kit Harington starred as the lovable and hunky Jon Snow. His name was Snow, but he had us melting over the scenes that showed off his beautiful buns. You know nothing, Jon Snow...but we know what your ass looks like.
