Fed up with stiff regulations preventing people from getting the organs they need, Dr. Andrea Sellers dives into the seedy world of the underground organ trade. (1 hour cable drama)

I think Richiev is on the right track: the inciting incident needs a strong personal incentive to induce the protagonist to cross the threshold into criminal activity.

Walter White breaks bad not because he's greedy for gain, but because he discovers he may soon die of cancer and he wants to provide enough money to support his family after he's dead. Misguided but altruistic motives push him over the threshold from a law abiding teacher to a law breaking meth cook.

And that's not the back story of "Breaking Bad" -- it's the pilot episode. That's what a pilot episode does: it establishes the who, what and WHY for all that transpires in the episodes to come.

This series concept is another variation on the general premise of a respectable, law abiding person "breaking bad".

8. I get what Nir Shelter is saying. What is the motivation of the doctor for the patient? Is it because she has a personal connection and therefore because of this deep emotional tie is desperate enough to seek such a risky venue? That could play out well over a season of a TV show. Or, does she have some kind of extreme internal emotional motivation? Something like a sociopathic motivation? This would be interesting as she moves from altruistic intentions to out-and-out hubris. But, all-in-all, the current logline lacks the dramatic motivation tied to the main character. Still, it sounds like it could be an interesting show.
