MIXED SIGNALS - (PILOT)

MIXED SIGNALS - (PILOT)
By B. E. Davis

GENRE: Drama, Comedy
LOGLINE:

A misfit translation start‑up accidentally breaks the internet when their live feed thanks a Nobel laureate’s cow, propelling them into the global spotlight. Now this ragtag team must navigate cross‑cultural chaos, land high‑stakes gigs and decode a clandestine offer from a mysterious agency – all while trying not to thank any more livestock.

SYNOPSIS:

Lexi Tran runs LinguaLoo, a scrappy translation start‑up staffed by coder‑turned‑translator Samir, meme‑savvy Maya, dry‑witted linguist Oliver and their wise neighbour Baba. During a high‑profile gala, a faulty feed merges Spanish and Korean channels, turning a Nobel laureate’s “wife” into a “cow” and sparking #CowGate. Though mortified, the viral mishap attracts attention. Lexi lands a translation contract for the GlobalGov climate summit, where the team must juggle Ancient Greek, idiomatic Texan and environmental activism without further disaster. They succeed, rebranding their blunder into #TieYourGoats, only to be approached by a mysterious agent offering a top‑secret decoding job. Lexi hesitates, but the cliff‑hanger ends with her telling the team to pack their passports.

Season One Arc: Each episode follows a new assignment—translating a reality‑show reunion, negotiating an international space mission, rebranding a dating app for farmers—while teasing the secret organisation’s mysterious agenda. Meanwhile, Lexi grapples with family pressures and investor scepticism, Samir tinkers with malfunctioning tech, Maya chases viral moments, Oliver quotes classical literature to out‑wit clients, and Baba dishes out proverb‑laden wisdom and jollof rice. By the finale, LinguaLoo is entangled in a conspiracy involving hidden messages in diplomatic speeches. The season ends with them accepting the clandestine job, ready to decode the world.
