This may sound strange, but the ideal template for an “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind” TV show is probably MTV’s “Catfish,” and not a weighty and well-furnished serialized drama on HBO or Netflix.
With that in mind, IndieWire’s film team has compiled a list of dos and don’ts for the creative team behind this new TV show in the hopes that it might still be early enough to help steer this unlikely project in the right direction.

Needless to say, we’re a bit trepidatious about the whole idea - it worked out well for “Fargo” (and potentially “Westworld”), but not every movie can be so easily distilled, expanded, and repackaged for a new medium. In fact, very little is known about the project, which will be produced by Anonymous Content and written by “Chuck” scribe Zev Borow. That’s right, Michel Gondry and Charlie Kaufman’s wickedly creative and widely beloved modern classic is being developed for the small screen, and - unsurprisingly - neither of them will be involved in this new take on their high-concept romantic drama.
A lot of things were lost in the shuffle when those Trump tapes hit the internet on Friday afternoon, but one of them was a story that would undoubtedly have made bigger waves in the film community if not for the unfortunate timing of its announcement: “ Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind” is being turned into a television show.
