This just makes me wonder what an awesome TV series Mass Effect would be...

It could work. I am just skeptical on exactly how it could work. Maybe a miniseries could actually work. Explore the First Contact War, some of the background on the Reaper stuff, etc.

I think for a TV series it would have to be set before the Reapers. They'd have to take some artistic licence with the lore. It could be about the "Second" human Spectre (No, not Ashley). If that were the case, it would be pretty cool. That would let them travel around, encounter Geth and Quarians and Batarians and all sorts of alien species. Then you could have the Whedon-esque big bad for the season, but story of the week each weekly episode.

And you literally cannot go wrong with that choice for music.

Saw the trailer on netflix page.
Damn it really looks a lot like a Mass Effect series, more so than a Star Trek (not a bad thing if i say so).

It would be a good universe to have a series in, just long as it doesn't have any customisable character in it, like Shep or Ryder. Everyone has their own Shep/Ryder, having one in a series would be awful.
Don't get me started on ST:D, I can't breathe for excitement.

Hopefully one day we will see an adaptation of Shepard's journey. Femshep or Broshep? Paragon or Renegade? Shades in between? There's a reason why only directors like Uwe Boll pick up on game movies. Every approach deviating from individual playstyles and characters, would be a sure recipe for disaster. I think the ones holding the rights know that much.

It could work. I am just skeptical on exactly how it could work. Maybe a miniseries could actually work. Explore the First Contact War, some of the background on the Reaper stuff, etc. All of that could be separate titles under the Mass Effect brand. Mass Effect Battlefield (First Contact War battles, Defend Earth under the Reaper Invasion, Fight as the Krogan during the Rebellion, Fight in the Rachni War) is how I would do it. Just straight up co-op battles with maps. Each war would be limited to assets that were available at the time. I would also love to see an X-COM type of Mass Effect and Dragon Age (the first four blights, STG planting the genophage before the Krogan overwhelms the galaxy, playing either side of the Conclave leading up to Inquisition.) I would also do a space simulator involving Mass Effect battles or being a privateer during the Reaper Invasion. Fly an Alliance fighter patrolling a relay, command a Turian frigate against Reaper forces, Escort a Quarian liveship against Geth attacks, etc. OMG. There are so many cool things Mass Effect and Dragon Age can do and the most important is: create money by creating jobs. However, EA bets low and safe... so it's just a pipe dream.

Whew. Just spent the past hour hour reading every single thing I could about the new Star Trek (which I knew nothing about until this thread).
Thanks for sharing! I had no idea this was happening!!
I would love to see a ME (or DA, for the matter) movie/series. It may be that at some point in the future, we will get something set in the same universes(s). But Shep's story (or the Warden from DAO)? I seriously doubt it. Bioware games are too structured around player customization of the protagonist. Even in instances where the story plays out roughly the same no matter what the player does (ie, MEA and DAI), character tone and personality has always been defined by player choice.
And even if they did a character for a show with shades of personality traits (a little renegade, a little paragon), what about FemShep versus MShep? What about race and sexual orientation? What about love interests and friendships?
I think the fandom would flip their shit over these choices in a Shep tv series. Can you imagine these forums? The mixture of rage and elation would be catastrophic!
It's too bad tho...I would love to see any treatment of the ME series in a show form.

What the hell have they done to the Klingons? Still excited to check this one out. Still an ME tv series could work. Make it take place shortly after first contact and around the time we got an embassy on the citadel. Maybe it could be centered around a young Anderson or Alec Ryder even.

Michelle Yeoh! I don't know the actress playing the protagonist, but so far I like her a lot! She reminds me of Shepard. The Klingons reminded me of the California Raisins. Are they actually purple? Also, InB4 "SJW"

Every approach deviating from individual playstyles and characters, would be a sure recipe for disaster. I think the ones holding the rights know that much. Not really. The films, or TV series, would be an adaptation. Which would means a personal take on the Mass Effect story, and not a particular playthrough of the game. The director then would choose those things, and if the film is good it wouldn't matter a bit. Sure, that would be some people compalining, but that will always happen. The core fanbase is not what makes or break a film.

Hopefully one day we will see an adaptation of Shepard's journey. That movie adaptation project started in 2008 and nearly a decades later they still did not hired any director or actor, only someone to work on the screenplay and that's it. So yeah I would love to see an adaptation of shepard's journey but I would not get my hopes on that, they spoke about making a gears of wars game even before that and it never came.

The best thing about the trailer (which as a non-Trekkie has me pumped) is the rage in the YT comments.
"Women in positions of power? An outrage!"
"Asian and black in space?! By god, I won't have it!"
