I'm trying to stay cautiously optimistic and will definitely take a look but I think Howard's Conan is too niche for television. The money backing television and movies tends to be extremely conservative and loathe to deviate from the well-trod pathways and tropes that put asses in seats. I can easily imagine an Amazon executive constantly tinkering with the show, removing things which might offend and adding things that will attract viewers until it's a mess. I hope my gut instinct is proven wrong and the show turns out to be excellent because it would have a die-hard fan in yours truly. 

If it is at least as good as the 82 film, I'll be pretty happy. I'm hoping for something even better.

Casting Conan is going to be really important, and the whole thing will be ruined if they try to make the series overly politically correct or safe.
