Would make a damn good series and has a really interesting and diverse set of characters.

Damsel.

When I heard about the Netflix movie I initially thought it was an adaptation of the book...

At this point, I want a movie adaptation just out of spite to see how much better it would be than the complete trash that netflix thought would make a good original story. I do highly recommend the book, too.

Discworld work make an incredible series of movies. I think D&D Honor Amongst Theives proves that modern comedy fantasies can work great in a movie format.

My other choice would be House of the Scorpion.

I would love a faithful adaptation of Worm, but I don't think it could ever do the series justice.

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

The entire 2001: A Space Odyssey series should be a TV show.

Dresden files would be a fantastic HBO style series. They tried a TV adaption in the past but it was trash
