Umbrella Academy: 10 Obscure Comic Books Netflix Should Adapt Next

10. Tetris: The Games People Play

If there are two forms of media that are bigger now than ever in the mainstream, they've got to be video games and comic books. With the MCU and The Dark Knight trilogy sparking the still-going-today comic book renaissance in Hollywood, and multi-million dollar gaming blockbusters and professional E-Sports reaching audiences unheard of less than ten years ago, the worlds of comics and video games are a Venn diagram just waiting to cross over.

Enter Tetris: The Games People Play, a thoughtful and introspective look into Alexey Pajitnov's creation of one of the most important video games of all time. If there's one genre that seems to resonate with the majority of Netflix viewers, it's that of biopics - the colossal successes of Orange Is The New Black, Narcos and The Crown (to name but a few) more than prove this.

It is in the pages of this small, character-driven, emotionally provocative tale about the unsung hero who informed a generation of game design that the beginnings of a truly special Netflix show are found. A thoughtful underdog story that takes the time to celebrate a criminally-unsung man.
