TV exhibits with bizarre premises aren’t at all times unhealthy. Take, for instance, WandaVision, which, earlier than it premiered, had lots of people questioning how on earth the plot would work and saying, “That sounds bizarre.” It is not solely the most effective issues that Marvel has created but additionally one of many best TV shows of the 2020s interval.
One other present with an admittedly weird premise was the ’90s sitcom Dinosaurs. Initially dismissed as a kid-friendly knockoff of The Simpsons, the present proved to be surprisingly humorous, filled with subversive storytelling, and ended with one of many darkest series finales in TV historical past. That stated, not each present with a bizarre premise sticks the touchdown — some are simply plain unhealthy and doubtless ought to have raised some crimson flags after they have been pitched.
