I would rather fanfic-tier adaptions (e.g. Man in the High Castle, Foundation) were not made. I don't have issue with creative adaptations or re-interpretations, or even attempts that don't go well. I do have issue with taking the setting and making up some random concept. Make up your own settings.

Season 02 of True Detective was all in all a better production than Season 01. The first season was objectively better made, the second was in many ways flawed, but it had a realistic ending and more gritty motifs.

Mini series or tight single season series are generally much better quality than multi-season narrative driven productions. This of course doesn't apply to sitcoms, anthologies, [show concept] of the week series where there is minimal emphasis on a broader narrative arc.
