A Television Series is being made based on the Pulse Nightclub Shooting - Polidicks

[quote=Orlando Sentinel] The Pulse tragedy will inspire a Spanish-language TV series, called “Pulso 360,” that will shoot entirely in Orlando, a local producer announced this week. Where the 13-episode drama will air, however, is unclear. Producer Aleksander Sagrav said in a release that it will be transmitted by Telemundo Orlando this summer. But the station Telemundo Orlando and the network are not involved in the project, local General Manager Alejandro Sánchez said.[/quote] [quote]Sagrav said he is dedicating the series, an unusual story with spiritual themes and a fictional survivor name Nuria, to seven friends he lost in the club shooting that left 49 dead.[/quote] [quote]“Pulso 360” mixes what happened inside the club with fiction, Sagrav said, and the first episode will show people coming out of the club the morning of the tragedy. Later episodes will flash back to scenes inside the club. A press release describes the survivor Nuria as having “bloody, pale skin and shortened breath with a sixth sense” and says the character “has escaped the chaos and sits in a state of shock.”[/quote] [url=http://www.orlandosentinel.com/entertainment/tv/tv-guy/os-et-pulse-tv-series-announced-20170112-story.html]Source[/url]. This seems really disrespectful that this is being made.

Definition of "Too soon" right there if there ever was one.

Couldn't they wait like a year or two? Even if it's sincere, well made, and does a great job of making the viewer empathize with the victims, doing it so soon just comes off as trying to profit off their deaths while it's still topical

What the fuck. It's not even like a documentary, it's gonna have fictionalized plotlines. This is such a mockery of the lives lost that day.

[QUOTE=pentium;51671312]It's American television. Why have ethics when you can make MONEY on garbage?[/QUOTE] Mexican* television.

Wonder if they'll include an episode about that ex-Marine bouncer that managed to save 70 people, that would be nice.

This feels really insensitive.

What the actual metaphorical fuck? Who the fuck would approve this? Then again they approved a series based on the Famine of 1845 in Ireland in Britain, so I can't be fucking surprised anymore by people's stupidity.

[QUOTE=GhillieBacca;51671319]Mexican* television.[/QUOTE] US* television. It's an Orlando channel, [I]as the name implies[/I], and an Orlando studio, [I]as the article says[/I], regardless of the language.

We have films set in nazi-Germany here that aren't [I]quite[/I] documentaries too. I wouldn't have as much of a problem with this if I didn't expect this to be dramatised and mixed with fantasy elements, but event without that it would still be in really poor taste unless the victims' families explicitly agreed to it.

How do you even make a 13 episode TV series about this?

[QUOTE=AaronM202;51671497]How do you even make a 13 episode TV series about this?[/QUOTE] You build the story around the character, introduce his/her friends to the audience and build the connection between the two somehow, shooting happens, the audience and the main character feels the shock from the sudden loss of the friends and many others, show the depression of the character, recover and grow stronger. I'm not a professional writer, but I'm thinking that's how they're going to do it.

i wonder how it ends

Can't wait till they conduct an actual real shooting just to film it as a reality drama
