Watch Kubrick do it far better than you could

the main issue with the tv show adaptation would probably be the unreliable narrator. hard to distort facts the way Humbert is supposed to when what is actually happening is occurring before your eyes. part of the genius of the book is the fact that we truly don't know what happened precisely because we *didn't* see it with our own eyes, and making it into a tv show would make interpretation more difficult

Kubrick was a hack that made doloras rught off the bat a little vagarious slut

Well if you've seen Moulin Rouge, I was planning on taking a similar route to Christain's character, were an action would happen and Humbert's thoughts would narrate after or during it. I think this could make for rather comedic context. So more like I would have to rewrite Lolita to be more realistic on a blatant end, but keep Hum's sode of the story going. I don't want you to see lolita's context but rather watch the actions and see she's struggling, rather than get her direct thoughts/feelings because that's just not the story at all at that point.

True Detective S1 used the unreliable narrator trick pretty well
The Affair also used it, but I havent seen it
It's more common than you think

stop trying to appeal to average readers

most average people who read lolita did it against their will

Adapt just the second part of the book and have Humbert tell the first one, never showing it.

I don't plan too, that's why I'm keeping the general narrative.

While I concider your recommendation interesting, wouldn't that take a large chunk of the story out? Along with details we need from early-on humbert.
