After AC The Gap Should Sure Be Doable...

Post by amanibhavam »

The recent release of Altered Carbon (which I enjoyed a lot) on Netflix (https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radi ... _Google%2B) makes me feel slightly hopeful that one day a similar network decides to adapt the Gap Saga onto television. I think it certainly has a lot of characteristics that would make it eminently suitable for a TV series:

- it has a tense story with subplots, surprises
- it deals with a similar universal theme (what makes us human) which always feels relevant no matter how many shows try to comment on it
- it has several strong characters, but their number is limited, so no need for a large cast
- a lot of it takes place in closed spaces (spaceships, space stations) so suitable for a studio environment
- and it's good! :)

Amani! Wow, good to see you around. :D

Yeah, the GF is watching that (Altered Carbon).

And agreed, the Gap would make a good GoT style series. Could fit it all in without butchering it too much.

Now go post other places, like Gen Disc, so people actually know you're back. ;)
