Crime Fiction Format: Anthology-style drama, each season following intersecting criminal lives in Los Angeles. Tone: Tarantino-inspired dialogue, nonlinear structure, updated to modern times (social media, crypto crime, gig economy, new underground cultures). Pilot Episode: “The Royale Reheated” Opening Scene (cold open): A modern diner in East LA. Instead of Pumpkin & Honey Bunny, we meet: Tik & Tok: a Gen-Z criminal couple, livestreaming petty robberies for clout. They’re debating whether armed robbery still works in the age of cashless payments. Tik: “Ain’t no one carrying green anymore—just phones. You can’t stick up Apple Pay.” Tok: “Yeah, but you can take the whole phone, baby.” They jump up, guns out—smash cut to intro sequence. Storylines in Pilot: Vincent Vega Updated: Now a stylish but washed-up hitman who spends more time debating Uber vs. classic cabs and weed strains than doing his job. His first scene mirrors the heroin fix, but with modern psychedelics. Mia Wallace Modernized: Instead of a TV pilot actress, she’s a failed influencer married to the kingpin. The overdose scene updates to a fentanyl-laced pill instead of heroin. The Briefcase Mystery: Still glowing, but now possibly tied to something more sci-fi noir—a hard drive, experimental tech, or a quantum device. Butch’s Story: A UFC fighter who refuses to throw a fight for the mob boss, paralleling the boxing plot.
