The female lead (because they've tried white and black) will be focus group approved: A Gal Gadot clone. Strong, but still feminine. Absolutely no sense of humor--about anything. Her name will be Kate, Katherine, Carrie, Emma or Elizabeth. Or they could get really creative and give her a man's name.
And a man's haircut.
She will be the only character on the show that will believe the condemned man is innocent and will stop at nothing to prove it!
Her male superiors (sitting comfortably above the glass ceiling) will think she's crazy until the very last episode when they realize, by gosh, that little lady was right!
And of course, the condemned man will be a misunderstood Muslim, like our Uzbek friend in NYC, who will either go free or (plot twist!) will die tragically while trying to save one of his white accusers: a loud mouth Make America Great Again deplorable, who will realize the error of his islamophobic, xenophobic ways.
"Ya know ... I was wrong about that thar Muslim!"
