Yes, but fair warning there *is* a romantic arc in the TV shows. I went in hoping it would be a platonic male-female friendship, which it is in the books, but there's definitely a romantic aspect. Both the show and the romantic arc buck convention* in a LOT of ways though, so I recommend it anyway. And the books are definitely platonic.

*The pairing is one of those where it doesn't really matter if they are together romantically, the mutual respect and admiration and affection is still there. The male lead carries more of the emotional lead than the female. Both characters are given lives and motivations outside of the romantic attraction, so they feel like two people coming together and slowly influencing the other instead of "Main character and the love interest they convince to change". It's... it's honestly one of hte best done TV romances I can remember, and I cannot WAIT for the film. Which is being partially funded by a Kickstarter, and the response has been amazing so far.

Now you make it sound like it's all about him, which it really is NOT.

Not at all my intention! I can talk for hours about the female relationships and narrative in the show, and have. But I wouldn't recommend the show to someone *specifically looking to avoid romantic elements* without drawing attention to the fact that YES, there is a romantic element but it is very much not in the common vein for the genre. That way they can avoid the show entirely if the really want NO romantic arc, or they can given it a try if it's the common vein that annoys them.
