10 Things We’re Hoping To Get From BBC America’s The Watch

The Watch deal with a wide range of stories, enough to amply fill out the eight books that made their series.

No two sets of adventures ever felt too similar. Certainly, the Watch never got into the rut of serial killer after serial killer that, though compelling, can certainly make other police procedurals feel stale.

Between internal revolution and foreign intervention, occult plans and the demons they involve, sentient guns, time travel, murder, mayhem, and tactically offensive breads, Pratchett didn't tone down the madness when he switched from wizards to Watchmen.

With the first series engaging with dragons, the people that summon or breed them and the political consequences that followed in their book-form, this certainly won't be a usual police procedural.

It's not entirely clear what the policy for arresting a dragon is, but I'm sure they'll figure something out.
