Why does nothing sound appealing at all...

 

Largely cause it's hard to get excited over loglines? It's usually until trailers/posters start doing their work that you see the appeal of a show but merely hearing what it's going to be about? You could hear of a comedy and think "that's stupid" but then see the trailer and think "this is hilarious!" Likewise, you could hear about an idea for a drama and be like "ehh...pass" and then look at the trailer and be like "HOLY SMOKES. AWESOME!"

 

For instance: Horizon sounds stupid but if executed right, it could be a top-notch drama.
