Pilot episodes have the job of introducing the reader to the show and making them wanna watch it all. But what in a pilot makes you say, “Nah, I’m not watching this”?
For me, it’s when the first 15-30 minutes are heavily expository. Let us gather information and learn about these characters gradually through their actions and interactions, not by dumping it onto us.
