12. Codes Of Conduct

Although initially expected to debut in 2015, it seems like 2016 will be the year we actually get HBO mini-series Codes of Conduct. Created by Oscar-winner Steve McQueen (12 Years A Slave), the 6-episode series will focus on a young African-American man with a mysterious past, who becomes a player in New York's high society. McQueen has created and written the series alongside Matthew Michael Carnahan (World War Z), and will be directing all episodes himself. Aside from the excitement of seeing what McQueen brings to HBO, especially with what could be an interesting and powerful story, there's also the acting talent, which includes Paul Dano, Helena Bonham Carter, and Rebecca Hall, while newcomer Devon Terrell has the lead role.
