The pilot follows his first date with Belinda, where his attempts to act normal slowly become more suspicious and absurd. I chose this concept because it creates a simple recurring comedy engine. Every episode can place Zeno in a different everyday human situation such as dating, work, friendships, parties, travel, or family life, where he confidently misunderstands the rules.
I wanted the character to feel strange but likable, with the humor coming from his complete confidence that he is blending in successfully, even when everyone around him can clearly tell something is wrong.
