I am sick of seeing the rich and powerful on my screen. Where are all the TV shows about normal people?

Both books and TV series are worth it. There's enough difference to make both interesting and the authors were involved enough in the TV series that it is still good.
Bonus: The book series is complete and, while there is another book and some short stories of narrative content, the show ends without a "we got cancelled" cliffhanger and the final book is a bit of an extended epilogue with a significant time gap, so, maybe we'll get a production of another season in another decade.
Double bonus: The authors' new book series, which just has its first book released last year, has already had a TV series deal signed.
