I'd make a really long series about a person or maybe a group of people life from birth to death covering everything. Learning to speak, learning basic knowledge every human knows, learning rules, getting punished from breaking said rules, going through puberty and teen angst and rebellion, learning about sex, having relationships, having sex, school drama, making of friends, the loss of friends, the regaining of friends, maybe discrimination of some sort, hanging out with friends learning to drive, graduating, going to college, figuring out the future, getting a job, marrying, having kids, raising kids, maybe marriage issues, maybe remarrying down the line, sending kids off a they become adults, having grandkids and maybe great grandkids, the deaths of family members be it old age or some other cause, and ending it all with the death of the main character as he/ she dies knowing he/ she left a legacy of family. I'd want to so this because every great slice of life series has left me wanting more. Knowing the characters' lives will continue on and I won't be able to see it is one way of knowing that series did a phenomenal job. I want to see more even if nothing exciting happens. I just want to spend more time with those characters because I've come to love their traits and personalities rather than the narrative that surrounded them. I'd want to experiment with that idea where you do get to spend more time with those characters, in fact, you get to spend all of the time with those characters through to the very end. The twist, however, and one of the themes would be a commentary on the slice of life genre of sorts. Even with something as thorough as this story, you'll still want to see more. That itch will never be scratched. With the deaths of the main characters, there will have been more characters they were attached to that the viewer is also attached to. They'll want to see how the lives of those people will turn out. It'll never end. I'd want show the complexities of the trees relationships we're in and not just of people but the relationships trees we make of experiences and things of the world around us, and I'd want to send messages of the beauties of all of this to give the viewers an appreciation of life itself as no matter how much of life we show, slice-of-life can never be the whole of life.
