JUST PLAIN DEAD
Scripted Series | Comedy, Film Noir, Detective | Pilot
The stylized world of campy film noir, jazzed up for modern-day Los Angeles - but not too modern. Detective Smithie is as world-weary and sexist as your average private dick, but she exists in a version of sun-drenched Los Angeles that’s only as PC as the real 1940s LA. Quirky and odd-ball, her “homme fatales” bring her cases of murder, mystery, and misogyny that would make Agatha Christie gasp. TWIN PEAKS meets KNIVES OUT.
