There is a show called Revolution that pretty much ripped off the general plot of Dies the Fire, but the characters & other details are completely different. The show is centered around a small group of 5-6 people, whereas the book series deals with entire communities, sometimes on different ends of the globe. There are also lots of massive battle scenes in the books, but the show is just a pretty standard hero/villain action flick. I watched it, and for what it's worth, I enjoyed it, but the books are better than the TV show by several orders of magnitude.
