Swamp Thing was so much worse than it could have been. Gothic horror, beauty and the beast, cosmic terror, body horror, monster of the week serial but it's a bigger monster hunting monsters, etc it's got all these interesting angles and they ended up focusing on none of them.

Once Upon A Time, Van Helsing (the Syfy tv show), Supernatural (specially the heaven lore), and Yellowjackets
Once Upon a Time had a great concept. The execution often was so so but the concept very neat.
They should have gone through the first season fully fantastic without ever acknowledge if Henry was right or simply crazy and started to reveal the fantasy part only for the season 2. They should also have made the family less tangled and never ever pretended dead people could ever (ever) be revived. Finally they should have somehow either improve Emma's character or glorifying her way less.
I'd kind of like to see someone do Brave New World a bit better. It was done in the 60s(?) but it's just a bit out of date today, while the book is absolutely something the world needs to think about now. A modern version might actually be even enhanced by certain elements of the modern style.
There was a modern attempt by Peacock in 2020. It got cancelled.
LA Brea.
Great premise ruined by bad writing full of plot holes and somehow worse acting. But man, the concept could go so far.
Powers (2015). The Biggest problem was it was on PlayStation network. Limited who could watch it and lacked a real budget.
