He eventually realizes he’s a player in a hundred-year-old tradition where the rich and powerful bet on the ultimate “game”: crime in our world.
Rogers will executive produce with Davis Entertainment’s John Davis and John Fox.

Sound Intriguing.
ReplyDeleteInteresting premise.
ReplyDeleteI need to know more before I'm excited though.
I can picture it, and I can see me watching it. but with the word rich and power in play, if the show comes, I hope there is traveling. and not just in 1 city.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds really interesting! I'm really looking forward to this. I LOVE The Blacklist and I LOVED Leverage, so getting people from both teams making this amazing-sounding show is like a dream come true!
ReplyDeleteI had a thought and I would like feedback: What if there are more players than just this one guy? What if this syndicate (or perhaps another oppositional syndicate) has other players like him? Let the best man win... Thoughts?
It sounds interesting! I can see it getting the Monday 10pm slot if Blacklist does good on Thursday
ReplyDeleteIt can work. I also could see this as a show crossing over to The Blacklist, but please do it after some episodes. Don't do the Arrow/The Flash and NCIS/NCIS:LA/NCIS:RED/NCIS: New Orleans-thing.
ReplyDeleteWill keep an eye on this.
ReplyDeleteOh, I just hope that this doesn't suffer the same fate as Emerald City.
ReplyDelete"A syndicate of powerful people offers him freedom in exchange for stopping high-stakes crimes" The Blacklist wannabe much?
ReplyDeleteI don't get the comparison. It's not like The Blacklist invented the trope of recruiting a criminal.
