Personally, I would love to see someone with some major balls revive MAX HEADROOM. No mincing around PC kindness. Go straight for the throats of corporation control of government and social media, governmental "three-card monte" schemes that endanger the lives of its own citizens, and basically crank the paranoia of THE LONE GUNMEN series to 14 or 15. And even though he is only a computer virus, Max should be a bit of a cold-blooded imp, not unlike Loki.
Also, I'd love to see a crime/action series in which the main character is an overweight and slightly derpy woman, but the show NEVER addresses her weight directly. No fat jokes. No references to BIG anything. Just have her do the usual cop/PI/action hero stuff, except she gets winded more easily and is more prone to use short-cuts or just shoot the person instead of chasing them.
I would also like to see a fairly serious SF/fantasy series in which the main cast is always at risk of being killed. Back in the 70s, DC had a comic called NIGHT FORCE which told different supernatural type stories with a cast that changed from story to story, but sometimes brought back characters from previous story lines. During the course of the stories, characters would go insane, be killed, or be maimed for life. Sometimes, they made it through with barely a scratch, but you honestly never knew if they would survive, so the tension was real.
