This reminds me too much of Harpers Island. (computer stuffed up)...anyways...I enjoy the plot, the amount of characters which I think may be hard to fit into every episode, that is if they're not dying, lol. I think its good for this to a one season thing...

I'm not a huge fan of this, from what you've written at the moment, but that's based on the 6-page pilot you've seemed to have whipped up. I will knock things down, giving you a review, with a goods and bads list, to hopefully help you make it better.
The Goods:
-The characters all have a past with one another.
-The distinctive diologue that separates each character.
The Bads:
-The presentation; I really recommend you get an actual script writing program instead of just using WORD. It is really hard to read your work. There is an AWESOME word update if you don't want to buy Final Draft called "Script Genie".
-The lack of suspense. For a somewhat drama/thriller kind of show which it seems you're going for with this min-series, I suggest you try and build up suspense. Put the person you're about to kill in the worst kind of fear that makes us literally scared for that person.
-Try and be a bit more descriptive with the action parts.
I really LOVE your pitch for the show, but I think the 6 page pilot wasn't what I expected. I can't wait for the full pilot, because I really love how you write you're characters and show their personality, but the action/movements/descriptive parts need a bit of improvement.
5/10

Thats OK Jack Its just to show the teaser I am currently re writting it and and its going to be continuing on into about 30 pages. But I am currently trying to finish up some episodes of V.A.M.P but i hope to have the finished version up soon this is like a trailer kind of thing. And I just tried Script Genie and its AMAZING I like this and it is easier to write scripts. Thanks for the the tip!

THE PILOT WILL BE RELEASED TOMORROW AT 3:30 EST. Just some tweaks to be made to it. It will be 35 pages equivalent to a 30 minute live pilot. I promise not to disappoint! Who do you think will die first?
