TV shows you’d like to see made

[Crimson Azure]

I have a few but would love to see a prequel tv series that leads up to first blood. What John Rambo went through/did in Vietnam and on return to the USA.

“Little Blood”?

The Two Popes, where they become heads of criminal orga……oh hang on

I always wanted to see three ten episode series based on James Ellroy's American Trilogy novels,
'American Tabloid', 'The Cold Six Thousand' & 'Blood's A Rover'. Considering some of the books that
have been made into a series, it's criminal that these great stories haven't been adapted. Pete Bondurant
is a great character, one of many, although it would hard to find an actor of sufficent talent who had the
physical size of 6 feet 8 inches.

Tom Hanks was interested in getting them made about 15 years ago but it came to nothing. I guess
if someone with the clout he had at the time couldn't get it done then it must be a bridge too far.

I would like to see a mini series on the nurses in WW2 who were interned at the camps. They could show how life was in Singapore before the invasion and then life at the camp and finish off with how they adapted to life after the war ended.

Also focus on the massacre at Radji beach where only one nurse survived.

BBC did a series called Tenko in the 80s.

A "Space Race" type TV show chronocling both the Russian and American sides from the mid to late 50's up to the first moon landing - Gargarin, Tereshkova, Grissom, Glenn, Collins, Aldrin, Armstrong etc

For All Mankind sounds like a tv show you would like. Not what you asked for but elements of it apparently.
I not seen it but curious to watch it at some point.

 

[Alberto_Magnifico]

A Band of Brothers series set during the start of WW1, where you see the expedited evolution of modern warfare before it settles into the long slog of ebbing trench Lines.

 

[akkaps]

A narrated sitcom of my life

 

[RedmanWasHere]

A show made completely with drones.

Apparently the Duffer brothers are in talks to make a series adaptation of The Talisman by Stephen King and Peter Straub after they finish up the final season of Stranger Things. I think that's probably the last piece of King's 80's output that has resisted adaptation so far. Steven Spielberg bought the rights back in the day but was never able to find a way to make it work as a movie, but the streaming services available these days would provide a better fit. Given that Stranger Things could just about be the love child of an illicit hookup between Spielberg and King, these are probably the right people to have a go at it, so I would like to see it made.

 

[bok_party]

think a lot of games could be made into great shows: Metal Gear Solid, Bioshock, GTA, Alan Wake, Control, Mass Effect, God of War, Red Dead

Just some off top of my head

There’s a scene in Stranger Things where Lucas is seen reading The Talisman…

 

[troybe]

A cop show based in Australia’s biggest city called Sydney Sweeney. Not sure who to cast as the lead yet.

The Jar Jar Binks Chronicles




Come on, they’ve practically destroyed SW so why would this hurt?

 

[No Quarter]

I want a GoT prequel that goes in to the battle of the trident and how Robert Baratheon came to power.

Saw something today that said Horizon (as in Aloy and Zero Dawn/Forbidden West) was being turned into a Netflix TV series...

I read a bit of science fiction and always thought the Coyote series by Allen Steele would be ripe for a prestige series. It started out as a collection of short stories, became a novel, then expanded out to a series from there. It starts out futuristic as a ship's captain steals a state-of-the-art space ship from a repressive US government and takes the crew on an interstellar journey to colonise a moon. It then becomes more frontier western as they try to colonise this planet with very little tech, plus there's plenty of politics between the crew. Then gets more sci-fi again as time goes on. Lots of varied stories to adapt.

I would say Stephen King’s Dark Tower series would make a good tv series. As a movie, it was average, but there is so many directions they could go with it being a series.

Another thing I’m surprised that they haven’t done, is a prequel to the Harry Potter series. The Fantastic Beast movie series has fallen a bit flat, could easily become a series, going from Voldemort’s perspective and original rise to power, to his eventual first demise.

Another series that could be done rather well would be Wilbur Smith’s the Courtney saga, which is set in South Africa
