In addition to a tight, killer pilot, every TV project needs a strong series bible to convey sustainability and its role in the marketplace. Submit your Series Bible (15 pages max) and the exec will conduct a 30-minute notes call to help you clarify, flesh out, and sharpen your document to support your marketing efforts.

Always prefer character-forward stories (also crucial in order to cast / attach actors) and a distinct VOICE and personality (otherwise 90% of buyers will not finish reading). In general, elevated, personal, passionate pitches/material is always best.
Most interested in voice-y, character centric, human stories. Something transgressive, splashy, or "noisy" is always appreciated in the current, overstated market. What can become an event-style viewing, what will have people talking at work, etc.
Recent shows I like: CATASTROPHE, HIGH MAINTENANCE, ATLANTA, THE GREAT, SEX EDUCATION, SUCCESSION, FLEABAG, GIRLS, AMERICAN VANDAL, SMILF, I MAY DESTROY YOU, TWIN PEAKS, VEEP, TRUE DETECTIVE, PEN15.
Broadcast TV is not my area of expertise.
