>story
A senile old man in a nursing home makes claims that he was once a uncaught serial killer. Initially brushed off, his claims end up being true when a tip from him tha is pushed by a nurse to the police leads to a body from a missing teen from the early 80s. Under interrogation, he leads them to another mass grave in the woods with several more bodies all of young missing women and runways from the early 80s to the late 90s, along with more recent ones. Under further interrogation, he claims to have more bodies up and down the new England area but when confronted about the new ones he says he had a young accomplice years ago he assumed had died but must have never stopped killing after all he taught him. Now to missing persons detectives must interrogate him, as well as former police officers, witness and survivors from decades go piecing together the story in a series of flashbacks to find the other killer

>an entire family is killed with an axe in the middle of the night, two texas rangers are sent to investigate
>they find the father has business issues with a railroad baron who has used violence to get his way in the past
>the baron is protected by other dirty politicians and dirty cops
>halfway through the season they prove the baron was involved and to save himself he confesses

Not sure how id feel about a period piece, I doubt theyd risk something so different

Actually, that sounds kind of cool. His dementia could get worse over time and the protagonists would have to figure out which of the things he's saying are true, and if so, how true.
I think it should lead to something unexpected and much more dark. Like Chinatown, or how season one led to a bizzare pseudo-christian cult.
>>70472700
that was the idea for rooneys character
Id like to see something about dirty hollywood. Pedos, rich people doing dirty business, the mafia, kidnappings and blackmail. Probably centered around a PI so he doesnt have to play by the rules.
Shame S2 was already in california, we couldnt use that location again
>>70472872
Sorry, who?
Also, Don't people with Alzheimer's sort of regress as far as their memory goes? So the think they're further and further in the past. At some point the senile dude could say something that he would have said around the murfer that breaks the whole case open.
>>70472156
>R Lee Ermet as Police Captain Sean Boyle
fuck yeah
>Idris Elba as the owner of the ports and has mob connections
ehhh, im kind of sick of seeing this guy everywhere
>>70473029
I would have rooney mara play a forensic psychiatrist for the FBI sent to help interrogate him to determine what hes saying is true or not. As it goes on he starts to deteriorate more and more and gives up more information
something in a city, and someplace cold. We've had two seasons of being out in the sticks in warmer months. It doesnt have to be like NYC but id prefer something more urban. Maybe seattle
they already did a show like that and it was pretty good
>setting: South Brooklyn, New York. flash between late 90's/early 2000's and present time
>theme: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xY1wBUrdRFg
An aging detective, nearing retirement must cope with both PTSD and a resurgence of ritualistic child murders that bear a striking resemblance to a case that he thought he put to rest.
>Adam Sandler as Det. Harris
>Shia LaBeouf Det. Morrowitz - rookie detective with connections to original murders
>Steve Buscemi- Det. Monaghan - Harris' first partner
The story itself goes bounces back and forth between the early 00's and the current time.
The entire series explores the very different racial groups of South Brooklyn and the secrets that they hold. The murders themselves are of children from the massively religious jewish community in Brooklyn and they are quite reluctant to work with police. .
Midway through the series It will be revealed through a massively long (20-30 minute) single take that Det. Harris and Monaghan were about to initially solve the child murders. They are chasing a mysterious man screaming "I tried to stop this" when you see in the backround a plane smacking into the world trade center. The long take scene is the high speed trek through brooklyn to Manhattan, the audience will expect a massively heroic scene to unfold when suddenly Monaghan gets killed just as they are about to enter by some one jumping on them and Harris is frozen as the first tower goes down.
Shia Lebouf is revealed to be a former religious jew whose brother was one off those initially killed by the "Yahweh" killer as he is being named in the present.
Still writing how the end could go in my head...the idea is that the killer knew about 9/11 or some other catastrophe and was trying to prevent it in a sick way by killing kids...the end could be they finally catch him and you just see the whole Manhattan skyline lighting up with him smiling, knowing he tried to stop it.
Why does no one ever use the picture template anymore? It conveys your idea much quicker than wordswordswords

>mafia
boring tbf, I'd set it in the 80s in tokyo. Yakuza, city pop and vaporwave as OST, lots of jap actors (possibly olivia munn and lucy liu) and just 2 or 3 caucasians
>>70472402
>inspired by the Villisca axe murders and various other axe murders of the time
Fucking. Yes.
>business tycoon hires a few local drunks to scare the man
>the drunks are accompanied by a third party
>a traveling preacher who just so happens to be stopping through town
>the preacher riles the men up
>gives some fire and brimstone sermon ans the thugs go about butchering the family
>places shards of broken glass over their eyes and mouths
>the men all depart and go their separate ways, all of them spreading various stories about the crime, being loud mouthed, big talking drunks
>all sorts of rumors start to spread across the tri state area
>more families turn up dead
Could even incorporate these similar crimes as well

>>70474423

>not the obvious shitposting plot about jews did 9/11
set in: Aruba, Jamaica
Off the Florida keys there's a place called Kokomo, that's where you wanna go if you want to deal drugs. Our detectives (Tom Cruise and RDJ) have to destory the local kokomoan mafia and go to Bermuda, Bahama, Key Largo, Montego to kill each boss and gather more information. Together, they'll perfect their chemistry and start selling a new drug that will flood the market. Ending: they fall in love to the rhythm of a steel drum band

something set on a military base, with two army CID detectives investigating chalres manson like murders on a soldiers family that are blamed on the soldier, who says it was a group of teenagers.
He is found guilty of it, but really the killers were some teenage children of high ranking military officers who try to cover it up. theres so many detective shows out there Id like to see how detectives work in the military vs the regular world and all the bureaucratic hoops they jump through
imagine this

feel free to go crazy in the cast. Yes I intentionally sorta combined Sicario with No Country. Because fuck, Sicario would have been insane over eight hours instead of what we got.
