Better as a TV Series



After having read Nightwatch I actually think this book would have been better adapted to a TV series than a movie. A series would have given writers more time to expand on the characters and the world of the Night and Daywatches and it would have worked well with the serial format.

I agree. Something akin to the BBC's Sherlock would have worked very well - three episode series with 1 1/2 hour episodes. Ugh. I'd actually kill for someone to do that. :(

I'm Dexter Morgan. I... can't think of anything clever to say.

I agree with that. The books would translate better as a TV Show.

You have your opinions I have mine.

considering the first book was made into two films (albeit very badly) it clearly would have worked better as a series.

I agree.

I had an uber-nerdgasm when I happened to randomly notice a Nightwatch TV series show up a few years back...

The excitement faded quickly when I found out it was about ordinary police officers working the grave yard shift in New Orleans, no Others involved in the making of...

Just happened to run into the series again while looking for something to watch & got encouraged to check out the boards here...

I would LOVE a proper Night Watch series... Hopefully done as a reboot, based on the books, ignoring the movies. I'll ever be grateful for randomly finding Night Watch at Blockbuster & deciding to give it a try... But after reading the book... I'm sorry, no competition...

I'd love for it to be in English, but I wouldn't complain too much if it were Russian either. It'd probably serve as enough encouragement to finally bump me from saying I should start to learn Russian to actually doing so.
