Netflix is going to adopt this idea right now. It is going to be produced by either one of those comedy-type directors of Marvel cinematic universe Taika something Gunn or one of their frequent collaborators or siblings. The story will spin around a bunch of college students who come from different lower to middle class background. There is a going to be Indian or Pakistani girl who came here to pursue higher studies. She is constantly ridiculed by the upper caste Indian students who are now part of the British elite class society. Then you have an Irish or some kind of GB region person who is also socially suffering. Then you have your usual group of social misfits. They share a common identity of being misfits of those times that is coincidentally representative of the times of present. Then someone among them kills some elitist upper class royalty type accidentally who was trying to abuse that person. Ah yeah, this going to happen after a party where those misfits are going to dance in a certain way to certain music that they know will popular in TikTok. Then the group bands to together to come up with a serial killer identity to hide the crime. They don't kill people but the do things that make people there is serial killing going on. Then you have your usual sheninigans. In season 1 a professor joins in their sheninigans who was relucatant. In season 1, finale the professor was almost caught. In season 2, someone actually kills and innocent person and does something drastic in the season finale. In season 3, the professor is killed and one of those misfits has near death experience. In season 4 Jack the ripper is introduced and season 6 part 1 finale Sherlock holmes makes an appearance. People petition RDJ to play sherlock holmes and the famous marvel alumni producer even drop a hint it might could be, but it ends not being RDJ but a random actor. But Jude law or the UK office guy makes a cameo in season 7. Then in after an abyssmal season 8 and the series ends in season 9, with Netflix says a spin off series is going to be launched in the metaverse platform that they recently acquired called Snap, which will attempt to provide an interactive detective and crime investigation experience platform that dynamically changes the TV show as the users participate.

Taika Waititi and James Gunn are probably the most talented directors that have ever done marvel stuff imo…

  Taika's 2nd - the 3rd Thor movie and Gunn's 2nd - the 2nd Guardians movie was quite bad IMO. I think Marvel could do a better job by having directors who direct only one movie and quit. Taika is a good director but he is not a good "serial director". He is great with original ideas. But Marvel being a serial franchise by the metric of average performance the Russo brothers are the most talented director(s).

    Do you mean the fourth Thor movie? The first two were not by Taika.

      Let me pull up the literal map of fucking Marvel cinematic movie timeline to confirm that information..... screw that. I am already at mental capacity with Agile terminology, 17 different cybersecurity concepts that might ruin my job and 5 different SQL dialects. I barely have the capacity to remember my youngest kid's name.

It will be cancelled before season 3 anyway without ever solving any major plot points.

  Oh no! We don't know who killed beloved professor, Dr. Tots and his unethical student love interest, Lira Buckshire Dunningsworth, heir of Lord Cantishwayshire. They had the perfect western european historical dispute contextual relationship going on. <I have no idea of western european conflicts but I am going to say the professor is Irish because IRA, and the student is daughter of a british lord because not-IRA> Who killed them? Why would they even go to a shady part of London where crimes and prostitution happens. That doesn't make any sense. Also on the other hand Dr. Tots actor was a bitch to work with and there was allegations of how he treated atleast one underage actor badly. Anyway who was the mysterious shadowy figure! Why did he kill them so randomly. I have no clue who that is, but I would love to have Anthony Hopkins or one of those marvel villains like Ms./Captain Marvel or something to play that role.

You forgot to mention the horribly overblown regional accents to appease the US viewers (I.e. legible, but quirky), and you forgot to mention needless love triangle that only gets mention at the first and last episode of each season. Plus the unrealistic portrayal of the lower class ("I'm poor, but let me shell out £100 for a haircut. Yes my car is falling apart, but this is a charming quirkiness of my character, not a severely debilitating financial problem I might need help on")

  I always assumed it was Hollywood, but I really had hard time understanding former coworkers English with indian accent, even people from some regions of my own country (Colombia) speak English but with the same accent they use for Spanish and makes it harder to understand, obviously is a non-problem for companies that do everything thought text messages on slack but some companies really love voice calls, I avoid those if possible.

    I'm English and it's not just you. I have had particular trouble with English spoken with an Indian accent. I'm not entirely sure why but definitely part of it is the speed many Indians speak at, considerably faster than a native English speaker like me, and the very 'compressed' vowels from Urdu etc. which they naturally use when speaking English. It takes a bit of practice but you do get used to it. Oddly, I did work with one Indian guy who had excellent, un-accented English. He spoke like he'd been brought up in London, but in fact he hadn't and English was the 2nd language.

      After a visit to the company office in India, one of my colleague told me that some of the Indians working there didn't understand each other in English... Maybe there's some exageration there, but that's just not you

You forgot the Nigerian/Ghanaian international student (with the heavily accented English no African actually speaks) who uses every minute of screentime to complain about slavery and white supremacy, whether they're asked or not. BTW, I'm a Nigerian who's just sick of the focus on diversity vs. actually good actors.

  They are really banking on the season 1 pre finale TikTok dance move. In fact, they have sprinkled in dozens of "meme" reaction per season so they can have contract social media managers create 1,000 memes that they plan to distribute across reddit and instagram through power-repost-accounts. In fact one of their crucial Gen-Z adoption metric is based on virality of those memes. For that metric they have a analytics contract with Reddit where Reddit has said they will provide only provide analytics information of the usage meme pictures and in no way they will push those memes are or corpo-moderate reddit threads around those memes. And also obviously the ad department is a separate department and has no influence on the analytics contract with Reddit.

  Don't worry. It will be set in a Blackadder-ish England with at least one good and one bad person from each current ethnicity and gender. A poor, black lesbian can teach quantum mechanics at an Oxford college, even though it's 1288. Get with the times.

  They clearly had more time on their hands than students today. Makes for a compelling case for overloading the curriculum with knowledge and work.
