1-Hour Serialized Drama
LOGLINE: Ready to give up on life, the alleged victim in a high-profile sexual assault case, seeks refugee from the court of public opinion only to end up roommates with a failing journalism student in search of a life-defining story as they mount a secret fight to survive cancer treatment.
In situations like this are there ever really any survivors in the end?
SURVIVORS: B.S. is a captivating look at survivorship and the true costs of being a ‘survivor’. In a multi-layered collision of worlds, full of contrasts and labels, the series is part medical drama, part courtroom procedural mashed together in an unforgettable ensemble piece. The series parallels Spieler's navigation of the medical system maze with Biljana’s stumbles through the legal gauntlet, as their stories and lives collide and become increasingly intertwined.
Humanist in its approach, SURVIVORS: B.S. tackles its subject matter with sensitivity and thoughtfully-applied humour. It focuses on an uplifting message; not that everything’s going to ultimately be okay in the end, but that even in seemingly insurmountable odds there’s still hope.
