An Amanda Knox-type is wrongfully convicted of murdering her French boyfriend while studying abroad in Paris. After spending five years in prison, her Innocence Project lawyer fights for her freedom and gets her case overturned. Shamed in the media, abandoned by her own family and left with nowhere to go, she moves in with the lawyer’s family and becomes their nanny.

Only one little problem: we find out in the middle of season one that she actually did do the crime... and homegirl is a murderer.

At its core, it’s a comedy that explores classic themes like grief and relationships through the lens of a modern family unit, but it also taps into classic mystery tropes in a comedic way. Daniel is a fun and formidable protagonist I’d love to watch for hours on end, and Whack is one of the most inventive pilots I’ve read in years.

A plunge into the icy, dark waters of murder and grief, the suffocation of a scandal in a small town, a woman clawing her way towards redemption.

Michael Konyves
I'm not a fashionista of any sorts but the world this writer created was a unique take on the high end fashion industry and the failures of parenthood. The script captured my attention and in some ways educated me. The thing I loved most were the characters, who were all multi-dimensional and realistic to the point that I've seen a version of each in my own life. The script centers around a messed up family that can't stay out of each other's way, but they always wind up standing with each other when it counts. This made me ultimately love them and I also loved the crazy, unrequited romance runner. This script is recommended for any cable series with family or marriage at the center of it
