What makes the cop stand out? Does he/she change during the course of the investigation to become less so?? Does being straight laced affect the investigation? What does this trait bring to the table?

Cheers!

I agree with Mike. We need to see some kind of ironic connection between the detective's characterisation/personality and the killer's choice of victims. For example, in the Silence of the Lambs, you can't miss the theme of a tiny woman trying to fit into a men's world (FBI) vs. a huge man trying to fit into a woman's skin.

So I will also ask:

  • why straight-laced?
  • why TV-presenters?

Fix this one and you have a much stronger concept in your hands.

This will sounds a little harsh. But you have described a cops job. It seems a bit straight forward. Slight twist, TV presenters. But that makes the cops job easier, a really small victim pool.

Tell us what makes this special.
