As much as i enjoy procedural crime shows - and I enjoy them a lot - it’s getting more and more annoying to see studios adapt comics and novels that have very little to do with the subject and make them into crime dramas. 

I’m not talking of shows based on books/comics that are already thrillers or crime-based, like Hannibal, Haven, Minority Report, Musketeers, and Constantine, but shows like iZombie, and the upcoming Lucifer (which looks disappointing already). Let horror and fantasy be just that! I get that you can’t always adapt things exactly from one format to another, but if you sacrifice the whole plot in favour of some extremely white, heteronormative detective show, what’s the point.

Every time i hear about a new tv shows adapted from something, the description seems to include “and the hero must help the police solve crime and has a bunch of secrets. Will they come out? WHO KNOWS?” It’s boring now, there are only so many twists you can come up with.

Mostly, I’m scared of Sandman and Fables adaptations falling into that category when they eventually come out, and that would suck so much.
