    1. Singularity

      Is this logline for a movie script or a TV script?

    2. Singularity

      Is there an over arching storyline for the first season? like in Supernatural, they want to find their father. There are individual episodes but overall they have a season long goal?

      If this is true for your tv script I would try to add that element to the logline.

    3. Singularity

      I like the idea of a paranormal investigator, but it is too similar to Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency (season two about to come out by the way) based on Douglas Adams work.

      I think the MC needs a more defining characteristic aside from knowing a lot about paranormal things, also maybe make it just one MC instead of two. It also comes across as a bit broad in terms of time line, technically speaking, and according to the logine, their story starts at their childhood and keeps on going into adulthood. I recommend reducing the time span to a more recent event in their lives, such as:
      After being struck by lighting…
      That’s just a cliche suggestion but it illustrates how an event in the now, as apposed to the past, can connect to their actions moving forward.
