All you need is a girl and a gun.
Now that Bored to Death has been cancelled, leaving behind a hole in the “bumbling unlicensed detective who has read too many hard boiled detective novels and has daddy issues” genre, here’s my idea.
She is a socially inept science major, obsessed with gadgetry (because she’s Asian, ya see?) and decides that going into the detective game would be a good way to interact with people. But here’s the best part, she would be her own femme fatale (with the gowns and hair and everything) because, get this, she is her own destruction! (dun dun duuuuun.)
Her father figure is a low profile thug who owns a speakeasy, who, in support of her new found career has to stop himself from finally coming clean with his criminal activities (and hopefully one day passing it on to her) and hide it from her. (MORIARTY IS HER GOD-FATHER, YA SEE???)
Oh and she would actually be good at it.
Now someone make this happen for me, I want to dress up in tweeds, and dress up in gowns.
