Title: The Sentinel
Genre: survival drama, thriller/suspense.
Format: 8×60
Logline:
After a shipwreck off the coast of North Sentinel Island, a close-knit group of friends and family washes up on a forbidden shore guarded by an ancient tribe that shows no mercy to outsiders. To survive, they’ll have to push through jungle, hunger, and the hunt — and face the most dangerous threat of all: the scars of their past, rising to the surface here faster than blood.
The project has already received feedback from managers and professional ratings from experts, all saying the pilot script is easy to read and keeps you in suspense. The script is written with HBO in mind - with pause, concise dialogue, strong atmosphere, and a slow but tense pace. The characters are deeply developed, each carrying personal problems and past mistakes, and there are no purely "good" characters.
The series is inspired by "Lost" but the focus is not on mythology of mystery, rather on loss, grief, and guilt. In tone and emotional depth, it is closer to "The Leftovers"
I already have fully developed character arcs, individual personal conflicts, episode loglines for the first season, the series finale, and more.
I truly hope that the series will eventually make it to the screen and become a hit.

Hey Oleg Mullayanov sounds great .
Congratulations on finishing your first pilot script, Oleg Mullayanov!
The Sentinel sounds interesting, intense, and thrilling! I suggest making your logline shorter (35 words or less/around 35 words).
I suggest making a series bible and/or a pitch deck. They can help you pitch your series.
