There are sooo\u00a0many shows I watch (and with which I am OBSESSED) that would work really well as a stand-alone or multi-book series. Here are the ones at the top of my list!<\/p>\n
12 Monkeys<\/strong><\/a>: This series has quickly become one of my favorite shows, and it makes me think of\u00a0a trilogy filled with time travel and romance and time travel and\u00a0a high-stakes end-of-the-world plot and, oh yeah, TIME TRAVEL. (Inspiration:\u00a0The Passage<\/em><\/a>\u00a0by Justin Cronin)<\/p>\n Agent Cater<\/a><\/strong>: I know that Peggy Carter is part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but even ignoring her connection to Captain America and S.H.I.E.L.D., I envision\u00a0a visually\u00a0muted\u00a0series of comic issues highlighting her intelligence amid the sexism and misogyny of post-World War II New York. (Inspiration:\u00a0Lady Killer<\/em><\/a>\u00a0by Jo\u00eblle Jones)<\/p>\n Masters of Sex<\/strong><\/a>: The life of William Masters and Virginia Johnson was\u00a0technically\u00a0adapted from their\u00a0biography<\/a> of the same name, but I want a\u00a0lush work of literary fiction filled to the brim with both criticism of and nostalgia for the mid twentieth century. (Inspiration:\u00a0I Went to Vassar for This?<\/em><\/a>\u00a0by Naomi Neale &\u00a0The Marriage Plot<\/em><\/a> by Jeffrey Eugenides\u00a0)<\/p>\n Mr. Robot<\/a><\/strong>: This show just\u00a0begs\u00a0for a\u00a0stand-alone atmospheric thriller filled with tech jargon, an unreliable narrator, and the Hack Of The Century \u2013 which only happens half way through\u00a0so you\u00a0read into the middle of the night because WHY ARE THERE SO MANY PAGES LEFT??? (Inspiration:\u00a0Fight Club<\/em><\/a> by Chuck Palahniuk)<\/p>\n Orphan Black<\/a><\/strong>: Even good things have to end, so this would be a well-plotted, multi-arc series with kick-ass lady protagonists; multiple, intersecting plots;\u00a0and an ever-widening conspiracy you just HAVE to figure out.
