Sam Esmail should direct a sitcom or a comedy-drama
I absolutely love Mr. Robot and it's one of my favorite if not the most favorite show. The script, the cinematography, the characters, the attention to details, the music, everything is top level.
But the show itself is too dark. Of course it fits the premise and makes it very realistic but it's hard to rewatch as a "comfort show".
I think Sam would be great at making a show with lower stakes, some sort of story about "regular" people, with drama about relationships, work, friendship, therapy, not saving the world and death. Something like How I Met Your Mother, Modern Family, Ted Lasso etc. With Sam's skills and attention do detail it can be a perfect show, reach wider audiences and portray a beautiful love story of characters that aren't doomed from the start. There are many scenes in Mr. Robot itself that would fit into such a show.
What do you think?
