A story set in a ruined underwater libertarian paradise could be fun. But a lot of Bioshock's trappings didn't even make sense for a game, let alone a film -- particularly the little sisters -- so hopefully they won't stick too closely to the source material.

Bioshock's world was so absolutely nonsensical, good luck to anyone trying to wring a coherent narrative from it.

I'm sure it's going to start with the establishment of the place and the early days, and it'll be a slow roll into the craziness. That should be a little easier to make a narrative out of. The game kind of started after most of the main story itself had already ended.

My intuition is it'll be like how Altered Carbon was made into a show, as in not the best fit, but they'll make something work and it'll be nice to look at. And I think if we go into it with low expectations it has a chance to do better than we expect.

Yeah, I should have been more explicit that that's the subtext to my post.
Like if you go into it expecting it to be that bad, then it'll get a boost just by not being quite so bad.

I don't know what I'm talking about though. I should just say I think it has a better chance focusing on the social dynamics & dramas of rich people living in an underwater city than what the game actually did with that concept.

I reckon Dishonored would have good potential for a show...

As for existing ones, the Witcher TV show on Netflix is pretty good.
