I recently started watching a show where the actress for the main character is so untalented that writers changed the focus to a secondary character. It doesn’t help that character perhaps wasn’t given the most dazzling personality, but the actor appearing alongside her was so brilliant he kind of took over the show.
I may be talking about “The Blacklist,” but it’s not because I’m trying to be rude; I’m more curious to know if other scripted shows change the focus of the program (especially the main character) in response to feedback from audiences or critics.
Thank you for your insight on the topic! I’m not a huge TV guy, but I want to hear what you have to say on the topic.
