I wrote seven Myron Bolitar novels in a row and I never want to write a Myron book where he just solves a crime. Every one of them I want to be personal and I want him to grow and change. The problem with that is it makes the series limited you can't write a series where a guy is always going through some kind of crisis.
I had the idea for the show like a year and a half two years ago. And it was all about the things that I didn't like about TV. I was trying to create a positive solution for it. And it actually worked.
