10 Films That Would Make Great TV Shows

John Michael McDonagh's little seen and underrated 2016 dark comedy, War on Everyone, follows two dirty cops that run over mimes and snort drugs off baby changing units in public bathrooms while solving the odd crime. That description alone suggests it would make for a perfect sleazy police procedural drama.

The police procedural drama has been done to death, but in a genre that is usually dominated by straight-laced detectives or others that are self-loathing with skeletons in their closets, a War on Everyone series could give the fledgling genre the kick up the backside it needs. Many of those that saw the film would rightly love to see its two unapologetically morally abrasive cops take down even worse guys while getting up to all sorts of shenanigans on a weekly basis.

It would be a crime to recast the two leads in a potential television series, so War on Everyone would most likely only work if it got its two stars, Michael Peña and Alexander Skarsgård, back onboard. But both Peña and Skarsgård looked as if they had the time of their lives playing the two worst cops in the United States (which is saying a lot), so we shouldn't put it past them to sign up for a series if the chance was to arise, especially if McDonagh was going to play a role in developing the show.
