Why not an Easy Rollins series?


Each season could depict a novel

It looks like they are working on it. I really enjoyed the movie and I might want to watch the show.

This is a topic that has occupied my thoughts more than many. Or just another film adaptation. Mouse is one of my favorite characters, period.

Don Cheadle was a scene thief which should’ve been impossible considering all his scenes were with Denzel Washington

Good question----the only reason another film based on the Easy Roliins novel wasn't made was because Devil In a Blue Dress wasn't the hit it was promoted to be. I think that only happened because it came out around the same time as films like Waiting To Exhale and Mortal Combat, which were bigger hits. A shame, because it's a good film. I'm surprised that there hasn't been a series since streaming's been the thing for awhile. I read some of the books, so that would be cool to see.

I wish they would. Walter Mosley’s Easy Rawlins novels would be great. Los Angeles in the 40s-50s and 60s.
