In a competitive situation, Paradise, a prison drama from hot novelist/feature writer Seth Grahame-Smith (Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter) and producer Greg Berlanti, has landed at NBC with a put pilot commitment. Written by Grahame-Smith, Paradise is set in the late 21st century in the city of Las Vegas which is now the world’s largest maximum-security prison, known as Paradise. Matthew Turner, M.D., is its newest inmate, convicted of a murder he didn’t commit. Desperate to get back to his family and prove his innocence, Matthew will have to find a strength he never knew he had, and stay alive long enough to do the one thing no inmate has ever done: escape.

Prison Break: 2099? :/
ReplyDeleteThis is the 4th show Berlanti is EPing in the last w years, he's really pushing it.
ReplyDeleteWell he`s not really pushing out quality, that`s for sure.
ReplyDeleteCould be interesting
ReplyDeleteI like the idea. The story has the potential. We'll see, I guess.
ReplyDeleteThis sound interesting, hope it gets picked up.
ReplyDeleteSounds like the old movies escape from LA and escape from New York. Could be great but I think the story works better as a movie.
ReplyDeleteI was on board with this until the escaping part. Prison Break damn near ruined that concept as a series by how much they bungled things after the first season. It would probably be better to keep focus on life in the prison rather than the effort to get out.
ReplyDeleteThey had me till the escaping part..would still probably check it out..
ReplyDeleteArrow isn't that bad, I really got into it around episode 10 or 11. And almost all of his past work is fantastic...Everwood was a really good show and I loved Eli Stone. I'll give this one a shot just because it's future-set.
ReplyDeleteCould of they have at least named the lead 'Jack' Milton or something :P
ReplyDeleteInteresting but perhaps as a one off season/mini series, as a few have mentioned, I don't see much beyond an actual escape ala Prison Break....
ReplyDeleteCancelled within one season, calling it now. The concept could be interesting, but this is NBC we're talking about.
ReplyDeletePretty much....
ReplyDeleteIt could be interesting, but it can also be one of those that start out good, but go down the drain way too fast.
ReplyDeleteWait and see I guess....
