Especially if it’s only one movie or book.
Some of mine have been adapted from books, so I specified the media:
Movie: Girl With The Dragon Tattoo Series
TV: Under the Dome
TV: Kim’s Convenience
TV: The OA
TV: Ponies (maybe they renew for a second season 🤞🏼)
Bonus- Shows that lasted a little too long:
Orange is the New Black, Westworld
Better Off Ted ended way too soon
Obvious one, but Firefly.
I’m a Pbs Passport subscriber and there’s this show called Expedition with Steve Backshall where this guy ventures in to places where nobody has ever been before like long lava tubes and remote islands to find unique wildlife. Unfortunately, there are only 2 seasons
If like Expedition with Steve Backshall you’ve got check his other works on the BBC. He did several series of Deadly 60 for kids and several Land of the … specials where he travels to other exotic locations. I saw him live talking about his travels and he took questions from kids in the audience and he’s quite charismatic and charming.
The Tick
You know the venture bros is basically the same universe.
Dream Corp, LLC
Scavengers Reign
1899
Ezio-era Assassin’s Creed games
Eternal Darkness games
Pod-racing games that aren’t directly tied to the Star Wars movies
Denis Villeneuve/Roger Deakins movies
Octavia Butler books
Whatever Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow was.
Genre-wise, I’d call it dieselpunk.
More Culture books by Banks, more Discworld by Pratchett…
Another person of refinement and good taste, I see. Both gone way too early. I have been rationing Discworld since Pratchett died.
You don’t ration Discworld, you reread it every 5 years.
And maybe revisit a favourite or six every other year.
Space Westerns, more Space Westerns pls
The OA
Carnival
Constantine
KaosI still think about OA a lot.
Band of Brothers type of show but for ww1
They could use the same trench set for the entire season.
Ive been so disapointed in stuff I really have no wish for anything in particular.
It’s eight books in total (sorry) but I’d love to see a TV adaptation of Julian May’s Saga of Pliocene Exile and the associated Galactic Milieu novels. Apparently, it was in the running vs. The Wheel Of Time … perhaps I should be grateful it lost!
Otherwise, and looking at more modern stuff:
1899, Kaos, Constantine, and The Bastard Son of the Devil Himself.
It hurt to lose 1899 just when things were getting interesting.
Indeed, especially knowing what might have been in store from the makers of DARK.
Labyrinth. With more labyrinthing and less singing and dancing.
Tintin!
And Dredd. Those last 2 really deserved sequels.
The Owl House
The Singularity Sky/Iron Sunrise series
The Prayer for the Crown Sky/Psalm for the Wild Built series
Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality
