Dresden files would be a fantastic HBO style series. They tried a TV adaption in the past but it was trash
I have so much of this fancasted in my head
Clancy Brown as Morgan
Ray Wise as Nicodemus
Mia Goth as Aurora
Naveen Andrews as The Gatekeeper
Young Ray Wise as Marcone (just let me have this lmao)
Dredd could be a whole franchise
Bring 👏 back👏 Karl 👏
Camp Damascus by Chuck Tingle. I was expecting a trashy slasher with some queer elements and an autistic protagonist, what I got was a good supernatural thriller with some queer elements and a very believable autistic protagonist - I would genuinely recommend it.
The writing is the weakest part, it feels very kind of pedestrian, like “here’s some words explaining what’s happening” rather than being artistic or beautiful or evocative but it’s good enough for the story and characters to come through, and they’re great. So remove the writing quality from the equation and it could be absolutely excellent
Love is real
Haroun and the Sea of Stories
All the Muderbot series
Old Man’s War series
All the Muderbot series
Best RoboCop sequels tbh
Deserves? Not sure, but I feel like Gideon will get one. It seems pretty popular.
Maybe? So much of the story is wrapped up in perspective. It would definitely lose a lot in any adaptation.
I guess its kinda fringe but the Vorkosigan Saga by Lois McMaster Bujold. Either the parents or little admiral would be pretty good if she is involved in the writing. Or, one of her other books. Great writer.
Curse of Chalion is my favorite fantasy novel, I’d love to see any of her stuff adapted well. I’ve read everything she’s ever published.
(Apparently Warrior’s Apprentice was adapted into a French comic book)
The Red Rising series would be an awesome TV show. Each of the 6 (so far) books would be excellent as long seasons.
I kinda fell off after book 3.
4 is the weakest of the series imo, it does pick back up
The bone comic book series by Jeff Smith completely deserves a movie or show or something. The series is like Tolkien + Disney +metaphysics and is aimed at a younger audience but has enough deep ideas to keep adults actively interested. It has a rich history of the 90s-00s comic book era as well as some history in acholastic book fairs as well as some early internet meme culture contribution. It was solely owned by one dude who eventually got some help from someone who added color to the series that really made it a next level up. If anyone decides to read it from my comment here, check out the omnibus version and if you can find a 20th anniversary version, that has some nice history and behind the scenes type stuff included. There was a Netflix series that was in the works for like a year or so until Netflix decided to cancel it, so it already has some kind of an interest that I hope keeps building up and eventually makes someone do something about this forgotten gem.

I thought the telltale video game adaptation was interesting!
But yeah, a full epic series would be something else
The Girl from Earths End By Tara Dairman
It’s like Harry Potter if you replace magic with botany, and JK Rowling’s shittiest values with the opposite of that.
Also fair warning it will make you cry
