What historical figure should get a show next?

[Mowgli]

Genghis Khan. Sonned a continent of cacs, made the vast majority of them part asian, had bytches on deck, killed for no reason, dabbled in so called enlightened philosophies and died an old man not to long after injuries he suffered fallin off a horse.

Queen Nanny of the Maroons

Toussaint Louverture - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I wish, but they NEVER gonna make a series about that. I don't even think HBO would have to balls to make a show about Toussaint.

in order for that to be made they'd have to give Toussaint a white sidekick and they'd force comedic elements into the story to make it more palatable for a "mainstream" audience.

John Brown(abolitionist)

If for no other reason than my grandfather use to invoke his name in vain whenever he got really pissed off.

If you don't adhere to the strictness of the historical account, shyt could be a tv version of Django.

Aren't they already making a movie about John Brown starring Josh Brolin?

Henry Berry Lowrie

The Cleveland Torso Murderer

Simo Hayha

I see someone already named Napolean and Alexander. If those could get made i guess a show on Achilles could be done too and i would definitely look at one on Al Capone. Im shocked that one on him hasnt been done. Unless HBO got something up their sleeves after Boardwalk Empire goes off.

genghis khan

On another occasion, Mongols rounded up 70,000 men, women and children, and shot them with arrows. Genghis told his comrades: “Man’s greatest good fortune is to chase and defeat his enemy, seize his total possessions, leave his married women weeping and wailing, ride his gelding, use his women as a nightshirt and support, gazing upon and kissing their rosy breasts, sucking their
lips which are as sweet as the berries of their breasts. ”

Rather than focus on Ghengis Khan, I'd like to see his four main generals get a show instead. Could give it GoT elements with multiple storylines happening at the same time and multiple battlefields. That would cut out the points where he's uniting tribes and go straight to Ghengis as a conquerer with an army that's running into new challengers in all directions, plus the best stories of Mongol battles all come from the main four cats that Khan would send out to different locations for expansion.

Giacomo Casanova is the one. Dude's stories of conquering women would be epic for a comedy style t.v. show with a new woman (or group of women) to chase after. There would be a lot more to work with than just that btw...Dude had a ton of drama and amazing stories...straight con man. Just scan his wiki

Lord Byron could be cool too.

Pablo Escobar, easily

Put that on HBO with the right actors and have Pablo's viewpoint as well as whoever's opposing him each particular season and you've got a GOAT potential show
