A TV series makes it so the filmmakers can get to all 15 books, the actors won't grow too old and grow up too fast, it will probably cost less money too. And less wait. Every episode could be 50-90 minutes long (90 minutes is very common for dram and crime shows in the UK, and since NZ and AU is very close to the UK culturally it might work), and every episode could be based on one book. Or there could be two episodes each book. Since the books are very short, I think one would be fine. For the longer books in the third series/season 3 they might have to do 2 episodes a book. They could do the same for season 2. Just to get a little more episodes out of each season.

You do make a definite case, though I imagine they would probably stretch things out a bit more than an episode per book, unless they do go with a 90 minute format as you propose.
