The whole Amazon “Pilot Season” they did for a couple of years was an intriguing look into the development process, and how many shows came close but didn’t work. In this case, you have a decent cast and source material…just from a book where not much happens, and the pilot struggles to create some suspense and dramatic stakes. It could have worked as the more limited run miniseries that Hulu/HBO/etc. specialize in these days. There are a few times I’ve seen where a good book is adapted into TV and struggles because there’s not enough plot to fill 6-8 episodes, or in some cases, multiple seasons. It’s intriguing to me because the British model focused on 6-8 episode adaptations for DECADES, tho these days it’s sometimes closer to three episodes given the faster pacing. But the eternal struggle is how to figure out what makes something that worked in one medium also work in another.
