Whistler Private Investigator/food writer lives in an illegal RV solves crimes while preoccupied with getting stoned and playing music by interpreting clues provided to him by friends he meets who are constantly on their cell phones.

>>>interpreting clues provided to him by friends he meets who are constantly on their cell phones.
Hmm.? Seems like knock-off of the CBS series “Wisdom of the Crowd” which was a knock-off an Israeli TV series.? Which might actually make it a more enticing series because networks have no shame or hesitation to clone a successful series. (Which is why CBS cloned the Israeli series, right? Not to mention all the knock-offs of British TV series.)?
Alas the CBS knock-off didn’t flourish in the ratings and then Jeremy Piven gave the network executives a reason pull the plug sooner rather than later.? So there’s that.
The other hook is that he’s operating out of an “an illegal RV” which I take to mean he’s operating/living out of an illegally parked RV, one he has to keep moving to keep from having the RV impounded.? Which by itself could be the source of a running gag.
Having to live/work out of an illegally parked RV is certainly relevant to the current housing crisis in California where most of the US television and film industry is still concentrated.? ?A crisis of too few units and too high rents and sale prices that has forced thousands of middle and lower class families into RV’s.? ?So there’s that as a positive — a timely news hook.
As for being able to solve crimes while stoned , Sherlock Holmes puzzled out cases while indulging in his 7% solution — injecting cocaine.? Ergo the pitch proper and the pilot episode might benefit by citing? Holmes’ addiction.
So I think the premise has potential.? But the logline and premise need a polish.

Also, It would have more impact if it was ‘her’ (25 year old) psychiatrist her husband ran off with. He isn’t mentally ill just a jerk who has dominated her and so she has never been independent:

>>>but problems ensue when she falls for the opposing candidate?
I think that for this to work,? her objective goal must directly — not obliquely — clash with her relationship.? And I suggest that a goal that would bring her into head on conflict with her love interest? is for her to be hired to go negative, to do opposition research and trash her love interest.
It’s also more realistic. Going negative is SOP in politics.? Alas, that has been demonstrated over and over to be the most effective way to campaign.? It’s not enough to polish one politician’s image; it is also necessary to trash the rival.
Therefore, to maximize conflict and comedy in the situation,? the objective goal given to her ought to be? to do negative research, to trash the rival.
And since there’s only a month to go until the election, it’s too late for her to credibly fall in love with him.? Better that they are already secret lovers when she’s hired.
