I would love to see an excellent serialized version of Les Miserables, one of my favorite of all works of art.

Among many other failings, the dramatized versions I have seen completely skipped over the character of Bishop Charles-François-Bienvenu Myriel--a monumental failing. Hugo devoted the entire first fifteen chapters to him and his character. He is one of the greatest characters in all literature and certainly one of my favorites.

I think even to begin to tell this magnificent tale adequately would require something like 20 or 25 episodes, maybe more.

I don't know that TV audiences have the patience for long-arc expositional development of a secondary character.

I've read the book, and like it for things like that. Translating them to the screen, even at Game of Thrones scale? A challenge, at best.

Sir Cedric Hardwicke did pretty well with his portrayal in 1935.
