25 Movies That Would Have Been BETTER As TV Shows
18. Divergent
There are plenty of different reasons why certain movies may have been improved as a TV series. There are few so simple as this however. Had Divergent been made as a series, the whole story may have actually been told.
Releasing at the height of the Young Adult novel phenomenon, the Divergent series never quite lived up to the likes of The Hunger Games before it. When it came to bringing the final novel to life, the studio went with the oh so annoying trope of splitting it into two films, with part two never ultimately being made.
Yes, TV shows are cancelled all the time, but there was an offer to finish the franchise on TV that was killed by the stars having no interest in doing it after the cancellation. Would the story have been different had this been a show from the start?
The world gets developed more, character arcs are explored deeper, and the whole series may have made it to air. Even if it had been cancelled, there's a chance a definitive ending could have been made rather than it ending on a part one that will never have its part two.
