  • Pathfinder: the series. It's just the Iconics going through the canon routes of APs. Would be a lot faster than playing through them.

  • Political drama where we follow an AOC like young Congresswoman but she's actually assisting a revolutionary socialist group (you don't say the word socialist so it can actually get on air). The villain is a billionaire who used to be part of the Republican administration but now runs a secret cabal behind the scenes. Her handler/mentor is her priest, Irish Catholic, who we learn got his start helping the IRA in the 80s and has a personal vendetta to assassinate pedo priests. The main character is constantly torn between pushing reform measures through legitimate channels and helping her revolutionary friends with critical intel. Of course the reformist approach never works and the billionaire cabal gains more power so she takes more extreme measures. This coincides with her personal beef with her priest who is objectively correct in taking direct action against US hegemony, but also kinda groomed her since she was a teenager to lead this double life as a politician and a revolutionary. Also her love interest is a former US marine or some shit who completely hates the military and now helps assassinate members of the billionaire cabal and also occasionally cops/KKK.

  • I want basically undercover boss, but not undercover and with rock solid legal contracts preventing retaliation. Make their CEOs do the shit work while they are hazed by low level employees and pelted with rocks.

  • Adapted from an idea I had for a video game: medieval fantasy setting, our protagonist is a local hero renowned for using his array of rare, magical weapons to defeat monsters and thus has the adoration of the locals and the king (who, for the purposes of the show, is one of those title rich money poor nobles). However the back story is that he was a scruffy commoner who had to take out a shit ton of debt from loan sharks to be able to afford his armory and live out his dream of being the chosen one hero.

    So the episodes focus on him trying to balance between keeping up his appearances, fight the monsters, not get his kneecaps broken by the loan sharks, and clandestinely doing dirty jobs that get him enough gold to keep the loan sharks at bay but would ruin his reputation if the peasants and nobles found out.

  • the protagonist gets fired for drinking on the job, goes on a bender and wakes up 15 years in the past. They have to track down their younger self to prevent them from becoming a fuck up

  • Band of Brothers but it's in the Halo universe following a squad of ODSTs

    maybe the main character is Edward Buck (Nathan Fillion) and it follows him from being a rookie at the start of the war to the grizzled veteran Gunnery Sarge by the end of the war

  • Deadliest Warrior but instead of historical or fictional groups or people it's a reality show where people send audition tapes. They then demo their arsenal while Experts discuss the pros and cons and Max Geigwer enters the data into their computer program made by Slytherin Studios and then actors dress up as the contestants and pretend to figh

  • medical drama/procedural about an antivax crystal-faith healer and their apprentice summoned by a reclusive, libertarian "commune" cult (a born rich heir-nutjob with a devoted "polycule" of gardeners/chefs/domestic staff) during a measles outbreak near some place like Ojai. the first season result is a change in leadership and the "ascendance to Godhood" (aka murder) of the rich patriarch by his faithful followers, who now openly worship his image and await his "resurrection" into a "vessel" (most of the polycule women are pregnant).

    it's a dark comedy-drama about the lies people tell themselves.

  • Isekai a communist blowhard into a low fantasy late medieval period world ends up on a sinking boat carrying the 7th-in-line heir to some empire, manages to not drown and rescue that fella but ends up in the hands of a band of mercenary brigands.

    They decide to try and ransom the royaling and their "only surviving courtier" to a nearby baron who ends up trying to kill them all due to being a low ranking member of an aristocratic plot to turn the imperial family into a controlled dynasty of puppet rulers in order to re-decentralize power and "restore the divine rights of the aristocracy"

    Obviously the gang doesn't want to end up on the funny end of of a sword, so the merc brigands leaders do what they do best and capture the baron to hold hostage in a barricaded room while sending our fancy modern day Marxist lad down the castle poop chute to get the rest of the mercenary company to besiege the castle and get their people out safely and riding off deeper into imperial lands instead of towards the borderlands to try and fool their pursuers and that's the end of that arc.

    Anyways that'd like like the plot for the first three episodes sorta in the same style that andor presents their stories.

  • The title would be "The Hero" and it is a Dramedy about Ahmed Chalabi cheering the Bush administration from the sidelines early on and eventually working with the Neocons to do regime change in Iraq, and having to come to terms with the fact that he got in over his head and is working with various people that are some combination of evil and idiots.

    • Or, among somewhat similar lines "The Believer" and it is a White American that converts to Islam and joins the Mujahedin at the very beginning of the Soviet-Afghan War and then "Forrest Gumps" his way through all of the events of "Muslim Extremism" from then until he dies in the Navy Seal raid that kills Bin Laden in Pakistan.

  • Adventures of an owl that travels across dimensions to find that one magic edible beanis but evil bunny block path constantly for mysterious reasons and the journey continues and owle makes many friends but so does their foe for 21 seasons and reverts back to setting of first episode where everything becomes clear

  • It's a horror anthology series kinda inspired by the whole LINDA thing from the Dr Who episode Love and Monsters.

    Buncha nerds form a paranormal investigation group when they meet on a forum and discover that the weird shit they've been seeing is all happening in the same city.

    Pilot episode would be called Case of the Sodden Man:

    Bloke gets caught up in traffic on the bus ride home from a late night working. As he looks outta his window he notices a figure in heavy winter clothes dripping with water walk right past the bus turn off into an alley and disappear. Normal stuff if not for the fact that it's a dry summer night, and if the headlights of a car coming to a stop behind the bus didn't show the alley to be a dead end. He thinks nothing of it until weeks later he's out drinking with his mates, and he sees the strange figure again. He calls out to it but it doesn't respond. So he follows. But it's moving faster than it looks like should. Still he it heading for the alley it disappears down before. When our hero arrives at the dead end he finds only a strange wet patch on the wall.

    Supernatural events escalate from there, blah blah blah, the building the damp wall is on turns out to've once contained the backdoor an old theater. Blah blah blah, Sodden Man is the lingering spirit of a dead escape artist who died during a botched trick. The protagonist tries to find a way to put his soul to rest, but he stacks shelves at a supermarket so has no fucking clue how to banish ghosts or whatever, so ultimately he gives up. Cue a montage of of him trying to forget about the Sodden Man and get back to living his life interspersed with shots of the damp wall. Until one night he sits bolt upright in his bed walks over to the desk he keeps his computer on and starts searching the internet for advice. Cut to credits.

  • A series in the Heretic universe where it's a different kind of reddit guy ::: spoiler cw: violence getting stabbed in the throat ::: every episode

  • I came up with several show ideas a long time ago, I'm talking when I was in my like mid-to-late teens. Some of these pitches I only have the title for, or some incredibly superficial notes like genre or main character's tentative name or appearance — other ideas I managed to write more about.

    Edit: Got rid of the part about child abuse
