Games that Deserve TV Series Adaptations

Mature stories and complex worlds deserve their own series. Game-related books have always accompanied brands like World of Warcraft, or Mass Effect, so why not switch to TV series now?

GTA

Adaptation: focusing on Trevor's criminal record would be a hit. Madness, aggression, drug addiction, and the ability to rob banks like no one else. Do it Rockstar!

The realities of the gangster underworld will never get boring. Peaky Blinders is one of my favorite series because it offers a very compelling and violent vision of this world. The Soprano Family or Narcos showed from different points of view what the reality of people with double moral standards looks like, presenting ambiguous, very human heroes.

Rockstar's second game on the list would very easily be imagined as a strong, iconic, one-of-a-kind series, and Trevor, i.e. one of the most charismatic and colorful characters that happened to the industry, would be the perfect protagonist for me. The casting would also not be a problem, because the actor, Steven Ogg, was not only Trevor's voice, but also his face.
