I think the trick to a tv adaptation is to not restrict oneself to a strict adaptation of the book but rather to reorder things, etc. to allow for character development. The visual medium also leaves a lot of things to be inferred by viewers without going into excruciating detail to explain things. I could see it also working well in episodic format with episodes focusing on individual characters.
