Element 1 ideas:

Tv Series i like - 
Revenge: Characters are a good mix, the main story line, always leaves you thinking at the end.
One Tree Hill: The mixture of story lines  not always focusing on the same group of characters, major and minor story lines both mix together.

Prison Break: Interesting the way he goes about things, there is a sense of reality about it.

Idea of story line -

Teenage girl is leading what is seen to be a normal life to everyone but at home it is completely different. Her father has recently murder her mother and she is acting like she doesn't know whilst investigating what really happened that night. There will be a third main character that gets in the way of this to make her task even harder than it already is.

Character ideas-

In my TV series i want there to be three main characters these are, a teenager, her mum has recently been killed and her dad is trying to cover it up but she whilst leading what is seen to be a normal life is secretly investigating to find out the truth of what happened. The father, he will cover up the death of his wife's murder because he was the one who actually killed her and he wasn't alone, but he will try and cover it up for her as well as him. The lover of the father, she is the one who assisted the man to kill his wife, she will be trying to cover this up as much as him, she will get in the way of the teenagers work which makes the teen start to wonder who she

really is and why shes there. Along with them i want there to be a sub character, i want this to be a best friend to the teenager, the best friend will be around but not as much as they used to be because the main character will be getting so caught up in finding out the truth that they don't realise their pushing them away. If not a best friend to the teenager i want it to be the teenagers teacher, who they will get closer to over time but never tells them what is happening at home.
