Hi friends,
I’d really love to hear your thoughts about Episode 2 of my series Géant.
The episode idea is this: two or three robbers in clown costumes, with toy guns, break into a bank. They don’t say a word and they take the money. But the twist is — they’re doing it to save the daughter of one of them. She urgently needs surgery, and they need exactly $200,000. So they take only $200,000 and leave.
Henri takes the case and completely turns it around. In court, he proves that there are no clear legal signs of a robbery. The guns are toys. The employees were scared and handed over the money, but legally that fear is their problem, because the “weapons” were not real. His argument is also that clowns, in theory, are meant to evoke laughter, not fear. On that basis, and through legal technicalities, he manages to get the defendants acquitted.
There will be a lot of legal нюансы (technicalities and courtroom details) in the episode, not just the gimmick.
What do you think about this kind of episode? Does this concept work for a series? Would you find it interesting and believable enough to watch?
Really curious to hear your opinions. Thanks!

I really like the episode idea, Aleksandr Rozhnov! "robbers in clown costumes" and "they’re doing it to save the daughter of one of them" hooked me the most. I think the concept works for the series and it'll be memorable, and it's interesting and believable.

Thank you so much for the feedback — it really means a lot to me. I’m planning to have 8–10 episodes like this in the first season. Now the only thing left is to come up with them

By the way, I’ve just come up with a new detail for Episode 2. The bank robbers are actually circus workers — they work as clowns. And to save the daughter of one of them, they decide to rob the bank. Henri will defend them in court and will win the case.
I think this adds another layer to their motivation and makes the story more human and emotional. What do you think about this twist?
I like that idea, Aleksandr Rozhnov! I think it makes the episode more unique.
