It could be something ordinary, like a thrift-store jacket, an old camcorder, a mysterious key, or a slightly cursed garden gnome. Each new owner has a totally different life, genre, and problem. One episode is a small-town comedy, the next is a tense crime story, then suddenly itโs a bittersweet family drama. The object is the thread tying everything together, but itโs not always the main focus.
Bonus twist: by the finale, you realize the object has quietly influenced a much bigger story in the background the whole time.
What object would make the best โmain characterโ for a show like this?
