On another note I just love Katheryn Winnick, she plays Lagertha the Shield Maiden. Inspired in the tales of Ragnar Lothbrook and some real facts.
One franchise that they could make as a TV show is Warcraft. I liked the movie a lot and I don't see it going forward as a movie trilogy, so maybe a TV show would be good. The problem are the effects. To have well doneCGI characters running around in every single episode will make it very expensive.
Ive heard a lot of good things about Vikings... And it would be something I might want to check out, if I wasnt so bogged down with anime and other things. Maybe one of these days Ill dig into it.
I need to check out the Warcraft movie too, at some point. Ive never played the game at all, but have been really curious about the movie by itself. It would probably do really well as a serialized tv series, were it not for the limitations that would prevent them from really delving into that world with the necessary CGI it would take. All I know is, if they did make one, Id try to fit it in to watch it.

We have Vikings, The Last Kingdom, and very soon a new LotR show at Amazon Prime. I am a very very much fanof fantasy, medieval esque show/movie. So, the more the merrier.

Unfortunately I've never read the novels or played the games, but I really hope it goes well and we get lots of seasons. I tried to look up the actors selected and some of them look nothing like the characters.
But, we'll see how it plays out.
