A List of Things, in No Particular Order, that I Would Really Want To See in a Silmarillion Film/TV Show

I feel like Turin Turambar would make a really good monster-of-the-week-but-also-with-plot kinda TV show. Like a set up ep with him coming to Doriath, then a season in Doriath ending with the Saeros debacle, then a season with the outlaws, then a season in Nargothrond, then a season in Brethil with a dramatic final few eps against Glaurung.
