Dig it. “Runaway”, a show on The CW has officially been canned. So say the fine people at Brilliant But Cancelled. It’s the latest show to die on their deathwatch game. I didn’t even know about this show, but then again I don’t tend to watch The CW. For those of you who are morbidly curious now that this news has been issued, the show’s premise was as follows:
The Raders look like a normal middle-class American family, with a dad, Paul, his lovely wife Lily, teenagers Henry and Hannah and 8-year-old Tommy. Those are their real names, but as they struggle to blend into a new life in Bridgewater, Iowa, they are all using secret identities. This family is on the run, hiding from the legal system that unjustly accused Paul of a terrible and violent crime. Adding to the danger, the real killer is now threatening the lives of the Rader children. As Paul works to protect his loved ones and uncover the evidence that will clear him, he lives with the daily fear that someone will accidentally reveal the family’s dark secret.
Yeah, too damn convoluted even for such a fresh “new” network.
