When his murderous ex-wife shows up, a dismissed detective must help the police force catch her.
"When his murderous ex-wife shows up, a dismissed detective must help the police force catch her." Just two questions for this. 1. What does the ex-wife do that means she needs to be caught?

“When his murderous ex-wife shows up, a dismissed detective must help the police force catch her.”
Just two questions for this.
1. What does the ex-wife do that means she needs to be caught? (i.e, does she murder someone and then suspect it’s her?)
2. Why do they need the dismissed detective?
When his ex-wife murders a politician, a dismissed detective must use the past evidence he’s collected to help the police force bring her to justice. (25)
This has the potential to be something like Monk, where you can make the reason he was dismissed the reason they need his help. With Monk, it’s his list of phobias, and has OCD.

"I intend to make use of some worldbuilding?real estate that I already have." By this do you mean that you have other works set in the same universe?

See lessAlso, yeah, many TV shows are filmed in Vancouver because it costs less. Besides, as the writer(unless you have another role as well) you don’t have worry about that stuff much. That’s what other people have their jobs for, to make the film the cheapest possible, and good. (can’t have fast as well).The only thing you have to worry about is not be new writer pitching a multi million dollar budget film. This, even though it’s SciFi, doesn’t sound like that in the least bit.
Released from jail after 24 years, obsessed with reclaiming his fortune, a man must play a deadly game, devised by his dead wife, that leads him through the nine circles of hell.

“Released from jail after 24 years, obsessed with reclaiming his fortune, a man must play a deadly game, devised by his dead wife, that leads him through the nine circles of hell.”
Example:?After he is released from prison, a man must play a deadly game his wife created that leads him through the nine circles of Hell so he can reclaim his fortune.?(~32 words)
I think the inciting incident lacks the casual relationship that it needs to the rest of the plot. Him being released from prison also isn’t what gets him into motion, what causes him to play the game. So what is?
See lessFor example, say that the wife were still alive, and he went to visit her. Before she dies, she informs him of the game he has to play to win back his fortune. Then he goes home and someone comes looking for the money he owes them, and then he?must?get the money to prevent being attacked or whatever, to repay his debt.
So, basically, him being released from prison is too early to be what prompts him to set the story goal.
Example:?When a gang threatens him, an ex-convict must play a deadly game his wife made that leads him through the nine circles of Hell so he can reclaim his fortune and pay his debts. (34).
A little long, but it gets my point across, he?has?to get the money to avert the threat.
Good luck with this.
