>>>interpreting clues provided to him by friends he meets who are constantly on their cell phones.
Hmm.? Seems like knock-off of the CBS series “Wisdom of the Crowd” which was a knock-off an Israeli TV series.? Which might actually make it a more enticing series because networks have no shame or hesitation to clone a successful series. (Which is why CBS cloned the Israeli series, right? Not to mention all the knock-offs of British TV series.)?
Alas the CBS knock-off didn’t flourish in the ratings and then Jeremy Piven gave the network executives a reason pull the plug sooner rather than later.? So there’s that.
The other hook is that he’s operating out of an “an illegal RV” which I take to mean he’s operating/living out of an illegally parked RV, one he has to keep moving to keep from having the RV impounded.? Which by itself could be the source of a running gag.
Having to live/work out of an illegally parked RV is certainly relevant to the current housing crisis in California where most of the US television and film industry is still concentrated.? ?A crisis of too few units and too high rents and sale prices that has forced thousands of middle and lower class families into RV’s.? ?So there’s that as a positive — a timely news hook.
As for being able to solve crimes while stoned , Sherlock Holmes puzzled out cases while indulging in his 7% solution — injecting cocaine.? Ergo the pitch proper and the pilot episode might benefit by citing? Holmes’ addiction.
So I think the premise has potential.? But the logline and premise need a polish.
fwiw
