Joey Dakota - SpoilerTV CW pilot script preview - more romance than sci-fi

Joey Dakota :

This show is very much about the romance between Maya and Joey Dakota a dead singer who was a friend of her father, Maya recently filmed a documentary about Joey than finds herself travelling back and forth in time. The show gives an extreme focus on the romance and the success of the pilot will depend entirely on the chemistry between the two leads. Overall the script was pretty boring but there is an interesting subplot of Maya trying to prevent Joey's death in 1990 and how her adventures in the past affect her present, her parents were long dead but after her adventures in the past, she returns to her present to find her father is alive and in prison for the murder of Joey Dakota.
The majority of the script seems to consist of flirtatious scenes between Maya & Joey and this is a romance show much more than it is a Sci-Fi show and the intriguing murder mystery is very much in the background. It also has some musical elements.


Success Chances: I don't see this succeeding but we'll see who they cast
