Oh, I thought you enjoyed
Buffy the Vampire Slayer? Maybe I'm misremembering.
I am absolutely not going to attempt to persuade you, but I do think there have been many movie-to-TV-series adaptations that have worked nicely. Not all, certainly, and I'll bet there are some real doozies out there, but these were the ones that came to mind for me:
Cobra Kai
Westworld
Friday Night Lights
MASH
Snowpiercer
Ash vs. Evil Dead
What We Do in the Shadows
Young Indiana Jones
Samurai 7
Stargate
Less successful, I think, but still out there for fans were:
The Crow - I think I caught two episodes, barely, and never went back.
Highlander and I think there was a spinoff of that and also an animated version? I didn't hate the Duncan McLeod version, but I wasn't dedicated by any means
Ferris Buhler's Day Off - I was actually a fan of Parker Lewis Can't Lose, which was pitted directly against Ferris Buhler, so I never watched this one.
Whoa, that really took me back to a lot of places!
