This would make a great anthology series


You know like FX's Fargo, but instead set in LA, New York or somewhere else.

It would be a neo-noir like the film, set from 1930's to early 1960's, each season would be a new setting, starring a private detective trying to solve a crime that would somehow be connected to Chinatown. (Probably even put it in the same world as the film, like the series)

It would just need the perfect writer/director/showrunner to catch the feel of this film.

What do you think?

As the title says.

I agree, but unless they take the Fargo route, where none of the original characters come back, but just set it in the town, it wont work.

No one else can plat Gittes, Mulwray & Cross better than their initial actors.

Otherwise, yeah, i'd love that
