Departed TV Show Might Be In the Works

[MartyMcFly]

“The Departed as a concept is amazing. That’s what attracted me to the story, the two moles working on either side of the law, and translating that idea into other settings with new characters, like how Fargo has taken the feel of the Coen Brother’s film. We were having discussions about making infernal affairs a television series. A different city, so it’s not anything like The Departed, but essentially The Departed as a TV series.”

The producer went on to say that the discussion right now is with the writers on “whether it could be a network show or a cable series,” considering the amount of episodes they could get out of the storyline. “Now, you can develop six episodes and one that could be a franchise for years,” Lee went onto say, which is a very true view of how the current TV landscape looks. A TV show based on The Departed, with a new city to explore and new narrative avenues to go down, could do extremely well on a network like FX or AMC, and could even make for the rare dramatic coup for NBC or Fox. This is one we’ll have to keep our eyes out for.

The Departed TV Series Is in the Works, Says Roy Lee

I don't know how I feel about this one yet. It needs to be edgy for it to work. AMC, FX, USA, or Showtime should do it though.

You mean an Infernal Affairs tv-show might be in the works.

Yo I never seen the original. Is it better than The Departed? The IMDB ratings are fishy.

I think it is better. Some of the plot elements in The Departed are taken from the original but changed/switched up in a way that makes way less sense, and I feel it also better emphasizes how distressed both moles are in their situation.

I dont think it's better but I do agree with you that it really plays on the psychology more and how stressed out that shyt has to be for both sides
