FORMAT:
These would be 30-minute episodes that are serialized with a common theme of musical albums and songs that have a deeper meaning in the title of the episode. The show would use a; this what you missed from last week like Shameless to open up the episodes and it leaves right off from the previous one.
The series Arc will focus on Aprili and how she copes with being diagnosed with a sex addiction; how she focuses on everything else but dealing with her problem; and finds herself being proposed to ten times which is a girl’s dream but it’s always with the wrong guy or is it?
