2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.

Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand.

the Amber books
Stephen Colbert was going to produce the series a couple years ago, but he seems to have moved on since then :(
It was always going to be a tough ask. I just finished reading the Corwin series again.
It would be difficult to adapt for a mainstream TV audience. A lot would probably need to change and that could lead to alienating the book lovers.
Yes, I would love to see a TV series. But only if it was done well with a budget large enough to do it justice.
I feel like the Chronicles of Amber would do better as a two season mini series.
I’d like one season per book, one episode per chapter.
No way. There's not enough material in the books to go one episode per chapter.
I will admit it's been a while since I've read them, but I remember it being a very fast read. Like, I think it only took me two days to read all of them.
Quick update. When I talk about having read all of them, I'm talking about the two book club series books that contained apparently the first five novels in approximately 600 pages.
I have the books that followed that, and I've not read them yet, so maybe make it a three season mini series.
that could be right
I haven’t read the books in a long time
I’d still enjoy ten seasons in a fictional universe I love
