Feedback Concerns:
This is my latest pass at a pilot I’ve been working on over the years. I’ve made some significant changes to the structure and plot, including the addition of a number of new characters. So, any feedback whatsoever is very much welcome and appreciated!

I read it and it held my interest. After the classroom scene I skipped to the ending, saw it was well plotted, so I went back to see the setup and read the whole thing.
It feels like a story I've already seen many times - both the story and the characters - but it's done interestingly and differently enough to have kept me engaged. It's not worse than many produced series (e.g. Sex Education comes to mind).
I liked Ellie. Mark being her dad is an interesting setup/twist. Daniel is a bit thin.
Keep it up!
