A reformed sex addict, suffering intimacy problems with a woman who offers him stability, returns to his former psychiatrist, a twisted and manipulative woman for whom he might still be madly in love with.
Pilot logline: A reformed sex addict, suffering intimacy problems with a woman who offers him stability, returns to his former psychiatrist, a twisted and manipulative woman for whom he might still be madly in love with. (This was logline 4 and I think it best sums up the pilot).

Hi everyone. Once again, I want to get an official logline for “Restless”.
SERIES LOGLINE: (for 8 episode limited series).
A rich, successful doctor with a debilitating sex addiction becomes entangled in kinky and increasingly dangerous power games with his sexy psychiatrist.
(This was logline 1). I can’t help but think it best sums up the series and I should use it as the series logline.
Formula 1:?
When a major event happens, the hero must do the main action.
Unable to have sex with the woman he loves, a reformed sex addict returns to his former psychiatrist, whom he becomes entangled in kinky and increasingly dangerous power games with.
Formula 2:
Title is a genre about protagonist who must do (goal) or else (disaster will happen if he doesn?t succeed).
RESTLESS is a black comedy about a reformed sex addict who must return to his former psychiatrist, a twisted and manipulative woman, or else he will never be able to have sex with the woman he loves. (This one doesn?t work at all).
Formula 3:
Logline must have:
1. Who the story is about.
2. What he strives for.
3. What stands in his way (the antagonistic force/stakes).
A reformed sex addict, suffering intimacy issues with a woman who offers him stability, returns to his former psychiatrist, a twisted and manipulative woman for whom he might still be madly in love with. (This was logline 4). Specific. But not very lean.

Hi Mike.
Thanks for the reply. Some good points there.
Yeah – in the original script, I had something quite similar to what you were saying with him being good, moral, righteous. I had my protagonist from a religious family and throughout I wanted to give him existential angst (not unlike a paul shraeder film). I wanted him to be introspective, etc.?
Admittedly, I?ll either cut my losses with this one. Or perhaps rework it in several months (perhaps as a film). Regardless – the next draft will need major architectural work.
However, my experience reworking the logline (over and over and over again) has helped me write the current draft (which I reckon is better – he has a stronger goal, the structure and plotting is better, etc). Not only that but it looks more like a limited series than it did a month ago? so I?m very grateful to you guys for the feedback.?
Though it lacks a strong hook, the logline I’ve gone with is a lot more specific, unique and lean than the earliest.
