Moral of the story: If you are fortunate enough to have the chance to sell something to someone who was completely unaware and/or blindly oblivious to the fact that this very concept was a failed GSN pilot, you too can be rich beyond your wildest dreams.
No doubt it will be executed in far more of an epic style, and I suspect Harris will do a finer job that, say, Jeff Ross, but at least my experience has always taught that the core concept of any show is what sustains any audience beyond the first few minutes of curiosity sampling. Call me cynical (or worse), but I'll be fascinated to see how radically different this is from what was just shared here at said core.
And with all that said...since it's Netflix, assuming it gets a lick of algorithmic support, it's all but teed up to be a cost-effective hit.
Boy, is the mantra of every real estate broker truer than ever...
