. One issue I have is in 2023, I can no longer imagine municipal institutions with much integrity at all, especially big cities and the Federal Government. 250 years of American purpose and fair play and equal justice before the law have been destroyed right in front of us. The outside world is running out of any reason to admire America. We don't have the moral authority anymore to be celebrated on TV shows. Ain't that the truth! And in today's PC/Cancel culture you're taking a risk for sharing "thoughts" like that. But I admire that you and many others are still willing to brave the storm...

I'd like to see the "Prey" books by John Sanford brought to streaming TV. Don't know why they've been overlooked. Stories have been consistently strong for decades, and his characters are all interesting and you can see them in your head already.

The Prey novels are some of my all time favorites and would love to see brought them to life in a streaming format as well. Several years ago Mark Harmon signed on to star in and produce a couple made for TV movies. As far as I know they only made one which was Certain Prey. I really liked it but maybe too many folks saw him as Gibbs instead of Lucas? Also, I agree the Shining City on the Hill is fading.

When my favorite Clancy novel, No Remorse was made into a movie I was excited and had high hopes. Unfortunately it really disappointed imho. I would somebody to take another wack at it and do the story justice.

F. Paul Wilson’s Repairman Jack is a great character that hasn’t been brought to the big or small screen. I’d love to see that happen.

I would love to see my favorite book series "Spenser for Hire" by Robert B. Parker be given the green light for a quality streaming adaptation. The weekly TV series was ok, the made for TV movies stunk and Mark Wahlberg's big screen movie was horrible.

I tried to give the OP more than 1 "like" but the forum doesn't support that. :(
