I've always liked the idea of a drama/thriller set around a town and it's people. A murder (or some other crime) would kick off the series and then we'd see how the seemingly unconnected townsfolk would gradually be brought into play as connections are made between them.
Sort of a Twin Peaks without the paranormal side. I'd want it to be 'real', more like Short Cuts or Crash. It's an idea that has probably been done but I don't recall any and I'd like it on a big scale, say, 20-ish main characters. It's the type of show suited for HBO.

I'd second the idea of Night Watch as well as long as they are based on the books. In fact they can do all his works.
And The Sandman series by Neil Gaiman would work well as a TV show better than a movie.

Okay, I'll bite.

A group of thieves plan a series of heists. They're more successful than Dortmunder, but not entirely divorced. It's sometimes funny, sometimes serious. They are in it for their own gain, but each has a different motivation.

The setting is a post apocalyptic world, in the aftermath of an alien invasion. On this setting, society is attempting to rebuild itself, but there are places where civilization completely falls apart. To complicate the matter, the aliens are still here, and they are also trying to rebuild the world, but with a radically different vision than the humans.

Prominent alien characters are played by CGI with the voices of some pretty decent voice actors: Good, but not recognizable for their voice. I don't want anyone to say "That alien is Sean Connery!"

Every show is better with Summer in it. Also, Every show has to have Adam. I like Morena more as an evil alien, but she'll have to be a human if she's here, but some sort of human alien double agent.

Oh. No one really knows how this war started, or whose fault it was, but predictably, most people blame the other side. There are, on both sides, self-blamers.

Alien technology is radically different, not radically superior. virtually nothing of the original technology is left, so that always makes for stuff worth stealing. The tech there is is basically all rebuild stuff. There might even be one or two alien-human hybrid things.

Everything goes better with Alan Rickman, but I can't decide yet whether he should be human. Maybe he should be a voice for one of the Aliens.

The aliens brought creatures with them. No post-apoc landscape or city scape is complete without critters, large alien animals crawling on the outside of buildings, picking off humans like a woodpecker looking for bugs.

I think I'll step over to what NOB's show. Hope you can get better production values than they gave Gaiman's Neverwhere. Your show should have Alan Rickman in it ;)

Then I'll swing over to watch Cannon Fodder.

Then I think I'll stop over to see Postal! Hell, this show is so much going to be CGI anyway, why not just hijack a game engine and make eps and put them up on Youtube?

Riona,

The Ireland show needs a twist. The people in the real world should show up in the fantasy world, but not as friends, in strange places, like wizard of oz. Have you seen 10th Kingdom?
