Just make sure they aren’t secretly conspiring with Lord Loss and have a load stone somewhere

I don't think one can be a hero without having flaws. That's why they're heroic. That, despite themselves they are able to overcome and do good for others, even if it kills them. Stories get quite boring incredibly quickly once the teeth are removed. Incidentally, as a long-time fan of Darren Shan and the Demonata, I have often thought about how an adaptation may work. I am currently a production manager for a film org in the UK (my film career spurred on by a love of stories as a kid such as the Demonata and TSODS) and have wondered how to get involved if such an adaptation were to occur. My approach would be to make greater emphasis of the Kah-gash and what connects Grubbs, Kernel & Bec through time. To elaborate - in a similar way to how Sense8 had characters who could feel/see events unfolding for others, the heroes of the Demonata series could start to become aware of each other's existence long before they come together. As an audience we would wonder what's happening. So - structure. Demonata TV Show would play out like Game of Thrones. 10 or so mins per character POV. Though we likely don't get into the full meat and potatoes of Bec's story until ep 2. She is glimpsed in dreams, the corner of their eye - perhaps Kernel even sees her through an early portal he accidentally opens. It's useful as the timelines would need to flex a bit to stay on track. Series 1 (Lord Loss, half of Demon Thief (cliff-hanger is being trapped in 70s) and half of Bec (when LL appears?) Series 2 (Slawter, Demon Thief, Bec) Series 3 (Blood Beast & Demon Apocalypse, Kernel & Beranabus' further adventures.) If prod team were nervous about not having Bec in for half a season, Bec could be extended yet again. The main reason being that the texture of Celtic Ireland offers many opportunities for exploration. BUT assuming we've not expanded BB & DA across two seasons (which is possible!) Seasons 4-6 become Death's Shadow, Wolf Island & Dark Calling and the final season is Hell's Heroes. As said, I've thought about this a lot as I always dreamed I'd have a hand in its adaption, someway, somehow. If my words here are helpful in anyway I want my 10% (only kidding) but I wish the production team the very best of luck. I'm not sure what details are made available but my email is on the form and I'm open to chat anon. Even in death may you be triumphant.
