If I won the lottery I would hire an interior designer and just say “Columbo murderer” while waving my hand around my home office.

The Dickensian (or Pynchonian -- "Bovino") naming conventions of the MAGA movement do suggest that this is all just a lazily plotted parable. "Pratt"? Come on.

You don't really want this. So much of TV is changed and discovered in the process. No master plan survives 13 eps of production. Your actors' abilities and chemistry opens up story paths you never imagined. Other ideas sink like a lead balloon. Master plans are overrated.
