RPG you'd like to see on TV

This one feels like a bit of a poisoned chalice but the recent success of the Fallout TV adaptation does give me some hope for the future.

My first thought was of Chris McDowall’s Electric Bastionland. However, everyone's Bastionland is different and the chances of the end vision meeting my expectations is pretty slim.

What I have in mind is a kind of Edwardian take on Arkady and Boris Strugatsky’s Roadside Picnic but written by China Miéville. I'd like to see that.

Then I thought, what if having a TV show actually aided the setting of game?

One criticism that I see levelled at Daniel Sell’s Troika! is that the implied setting is so out there, so nebulous, so ethereal, it's hard to get a handle on it and I'd have to agree.

Perhaps, a TV show exploring aspects of the Troika! universe would help folks feel more grounded.

Then again, I feel that probably goes against the spirit of the game.
