>>>a series logline needs to be as water tight as a film one with the only difference being that a series logline needs to pitch the pilot episode not the plot for an entire season...

I'm binge-watching pilot seasons of a number of successful series in the US market (The Wire, The Sopranos, Breaking Bad, House of Cards, Deadwood, The West Wing, Dexter, True Blood, Monk, Nip/Tuck, Mad Men, etc.) and that seems to be a sin qua non. The pilot episode has to be a grabber, have a really strong hook in terms of both plot and character.

>>a flaw or gimmick to help perpetuate the interest in the character.

Okay, but Wired, Deadwood and West Wing, for example, seem to be more ensemble, situation series. There is a large cast of interesting (and flawed) characters with 2-3 concurrent story threads in each episode.

Research continues. It's a tough job. ;)
