Premises Of TV Shows: Too Weird!
The Guardian’s Stuart Heritage (love that name!) writes: ‘By one count, America alone produced close to 500 television shows across networks, cable and streaming services last year. … Competition is so fierce that a bizarre premise seems like the best way in. Would I watch a show where Daniel Radcliffe works in a bar? Maybe. Would I watch Miracle Workers, a show where Daniel Radcliffe plays an angel battling against the worst instincts of his boss” – God – “who is also Steve Buscemi? Almost definitely yes, if only to see what it’s like.’
