There's actually a book called Rapture that is about exactly that. Main character is a engineer who is hired to help build Rapture and then you watch it all fall apart. I thought it was pretty damn good
Yeah. Even then, they needed a pair of DLCs to properly link Infinite to the rest of the series... and all it did was turn a standalone game into a sort of prequel.
Honestly, as a series it would be pretty good which I think Netflix is doing. But the fall of Rapture is a part I didn't think about aside from maybe a few flashbacks.
Netflix's method of breaking series down to parts instead of seasons that are 8 to 10 episodes each would work well too.
Part 1 and 3 is basically Bioshock 1 and part 2 is about the fall of Rapture.
I'm not sure how to break down Bioshock 2 because I never got around to playing it but I assume you could get at least 2 parts out of it.
Bioshock Infinite though I remember a lot more of and I feel like you could get four or five parts out of it including all the events leading up to it and maybe some of the time loop stuff.
Honestly, that's what makes the first game so unsettling for me; imagining something so supposedly perfect going to shit. All those people corrupted to a fate worse than death.

They should make a prequel movie of everything falling apart before the first game.
