The realization that these two forms of storytelling aren’t just similar, but exactly the same, has yielded one of the most successful genre TV enterprises since Star Trek: The CW’s Arrowverse. This is also the internal combustion engine that fuels superhero comics, where a normal lad might be bitten by a radioactive spider, or a teen discovers puberty comes with eye lasers and blue fur.
On The CW, characters constantly win a lottery they didn’t know they played, and learn that winning mostly yields more problems than they had before - which means more drama for the viewer to enjoy, and hopefully follow for about seven seasons. high school football player is suddenly recruited to play for a posh Beverly Hills school ( All-American), or a college student learns that she and her sisters are actually witches ( Charmed) or a young woman that returns to her hometown discovers that her former crush is actually an alien ( Roswell, New Mexico). Most of the network’s shows are built around a main character who is kind of normal, until something unusual happens.
