Secondly, I don’t think Dan is emotionally mature enough to easily cope with the topics he wants to address. To an outside viewer, it would just look like a show about a sad lawyer and honestly, that isn’t that appealing or interesting, especially when shows like fleabag already do a similar concept much better and are much more unconventional and shocking than anything dan could produce. We have that context, an outside audience would not and trying to convey it without breaking the fourth wall would be difficult. We know that dan didn’t end up becoming a lawyer and chose to become a YouTuber instead. A show like this is only interesting when you know the context it lies in. Obviously, we don’t know all the details but that’s what I assume it would have been like.įirst of all, it’s wayyy too specific to Dan. It was clear he wanted it to be serious and reach a wide audience, I’m assuming there would be nothing too meta or out there. It would have concentrated on a closeted Dan working as a lawyer with a long term gf. Phil was not going to be in it and I’m thinking it might have had a similar style to fleabag. So to start, my main takeaway from what Dan wanted from his original show idea was a dark, satirical comedy touching on topics like internalised homophobia and depression. How it could have worked with Phil as the main character but Dan still present How it could have worked with Dan as the main character but Phil still present How it could have worked with both Dan and Phil Why Dan’s original pitch would not have worked Like Dan has done I’m going to provide chapters for all the things I want to say. ![]() I have a sneaking suspicion he might try again at some point, but I think for the time being it would have been a very poor business decision. I’m not saying he should give it away, I’m just saying the original concept was flawed and probably wouldn’t have worked out the way he wanted. I want to preface this by saying that I understand that the show was Dan’s dream and Dan’s baby. (Also I had quite a few asks asking for this, I’ve decided to consolidate them all here, mainly because you linked in the original post thanks for that haha). Settle down with a nice cup of tea and enjoy it. So I’ve been working on this for a little while, so it’s gonna be a long one.
