| Title: | POST MORTEM |
| Logline: | Faced with the threat of losing the family business, the patriarch of a struggling small town funeral home resorts to murder in order to drum up business, but he finds himself in trouble when his unknowing wife starts helping the police investigate the killings. |
| Pitch: | SIX FEET UNDER meets SANTA CLARITA DIET |
| Writer: | Travis Carr |
| Genre: | Drama |
| Why to Read: | Featuring a unique and inherently hilarious premise, this makes for a really fresh and fun read. The description is cinematic and the writer excellently sets the scene and atmosphere throughout. They know just when and how to misdirect the reader, making the tension feel intrinsic to the story itself. The tone is remarkably well-balanced and keeps just enough positivity, not an easy feat with this kind of dark subject matter. Because the family is in the business of death, and murder helps them pay the bills, there’s an intriguing dichotomy to our usual perception of the act. It’s also easy to see future conflict within the series, and the show has endless possible storylines and obstacles to address. |
