After seeing The Witcher and playing Dad of Boi... Could this work as a Netflix series?

Think about it... If Sam Raimi could pull a long series about Hercules, Doing a God of War series wouldn't be as Far-fetched...
I KNOW... Videogame adaptations tend to be bad and The Witcher is TECHNICALLY A BOOK SERIES. But, God of War COULD learn a bit from both Hercules The Legendary Journeys and The Witcher, in order to be a good series.

The frantic Pace of the first games, obviously can't be 100% be emulated, since a TV series would require a character arc and some development other than "RAHHH! I'M CRATE-ASS!! GODS TRICKED ME!! ME KILL GODS!!! RAAAAHH!!" I'd suggest having the First 3-5 seasons dealing with Greek Era Kratos and implementing the PSP side games as flashbacks within the episodes in a sort of B-Story way... similar to how Arrow did the Flashbacks telling Oliver's story. Then again, there ARE Novelizations of the games, which could help as starting blocks to build the series.

While he SHOULDN'T KILL EVERYONE HE MEETS, Kratos should kill SOME the people he helps, because he's a raging misanthrope... just save it for the annoying ones. Also, screw it... Kevin Sorbo must be Zeus... I KNOW he WAS Hercules in GOW3, but his 60s would be bigger by the time this theoretical series reaches its Final season, game 3 end...

I'm keeping the series JUST on the Greek Era, because it's the one that requires some expansion to work on TV... Also, having a single Dad of Boi Norse era game makes it harder to spawn a series here.

Think about it, if CASTLEVANIA COULD SPAWN A SERIES BASED ON A NES GAME... imagine what they could do with God of War.
