Reply to comment by PolygonMan in how is there no really good Warhammer 40k tv show? by jamtwin1

That’s Fair. It is still sci if fantasy escapism but I think they could do it in a tasteful non goofy way like Peter Jackson did with lord of the rings

There’s this YouTube series called astrates which was produced by one guy. It’s amazing. if it was presented anything like that I think it would great and appeal to a larger audience.

Yeah I really enjoyed Astartes. But it tells a short, contained story in a very specific way, you couldn't build an entire TV show using just that style.

And I mean, I'm not saying it's impossible, I'm just saying it will be difficult to do it well. Lots of people feel like it's a no-brainer, but... it isn't. Finding that balance will take some skill in terms of writing, directing and acting. And with the current glut of streaming shows good talent is in short supply.
