Mass Effect TV Series Won't Retread Shepard's Story And Will Be Set After The Original Trilogy - IGN
Amazon's upcoming Mass Effect TV adaptation will focus on an original story rather than rehashing BioWare's classic trilogy of video games starring Commander Shepard.www.ign.com
the ME universe has more than enough to build off of tbf
Yea, I don’t need to see a retelling of three movie games I already know the ending to.
After Fallout, I give Amazon the benefit of the doubt that they can cook up an original story that leverages the lore

This is a good thing.
As someone who loves choice based, narrative drive action RPGs, I legitimately couldn't care less about my specific choices being reflected in a live action or animated adaptation. My Shepard was mine. Couldn't possibly give a damn if Bioware decided that the actual cannon Shep was a female Paragon, Earthborn Soldier that fell in love with Liara instead of a male Renegade, Colonial Vanguard that wanted to put a ring on Miranda. It's their property and doesn't detract from my experience from the games nor would it deter me from watching and enjoying the film/series. The constant would likely be the cast & the main antagonist. Seeing the Reapers alone would be cool.
I'm also fine with them opting to create an original story in that universe. It's huge. I do think it's disappointing that they often hesitate to adapt the actual original source content out of fear of upsetting man children who didn't envision the main character being a woman or having a different romantic interest. I'll still check for this because it's more Mass Effect either way.

One key detail people seem to be overlooking is if it's after the original trilogy they will be forced to commit to one of the endings as canon.
This actually increased my interest in the show. I assumed it would be during 1-3 because that's what fans know, after 1-3 means we might finally get some answers we've been waiting for since "ME3".

I did tell y’all
I’m sure it will have elements of the original Mass Effect Story with Humans trying to be the top species and being under threat but this time just after the reaper war. Because there’s no way in hell they’ll have the budget for constant Aliens.
