    No, it shouldn't be. This story is self-contained, and besides, there already was a series like you suggest, it was called "Firefly"

      Except "Firefly" wasn't about law enforcement in a single location, it was about ex-rebel outlaws carrying out one job after another in various "space western" locales.

        Yeah I tend to agree with you hollankreil. Firefly was nothing like this movie.
        I too would like to see a TV series that had the same feel as Outland.

        • Isolated in a bleak, deep space location
        • Populated by working class types and research types.
        • Dealing with some unusual phenomenon
          We are lucky that "Moon" was made.
          It was created as something of an homage to the feel of some of those classic 70s/80s space isolationist films:
        • 2001
        • Silent Running
        • Alien (and Aliens)
        • Saturn 3
        • Outland
          And also "Moon 44"

          That would be pretty cool. I think you'd have to scale the mine up a lot though - there's only like 2,100 people there in the film, so it's like a really small town or a large village. Not much scope for a constant stream of law-breaking.
          Either you make the mine about ten times the size, at least, or maybe better, you put a whole bunch of different facilities all over Io and make the Marshall force responsible for all of them.

            There was a British TV series in the late 80s about cops on a moon base or space station. Very similar concept. Can't remember the name of it.

                Not a bad idea. Could be a low-tech Star Trek without the starships.

                    If you're still interested/ checking this thread also try a series staring Michael Pare (from Moon 44) that ran from 2000-2003 called Starhunter. Doesn't seem like a police series, I think it was more Firefly-esque, but it was definitely set in the grimy, industrial, ass-end of space that you're wishing to see more stories in.

                      I like it. Sort of like 'Breaking Bad' in space. Hello? AMC? Are you listening?? Walking Dead sucks now..
