NBC Developing Cop Drama CONWAY With Vin Diesel Producing

We have news that we are getting a new cop-drama from NBC called Conway, which will be produced by Vin Diesel, his One Race TV, and Universal Television, where Diesel and One Race TV are under a deal. Here’s the synopsis for the series:

Written by Jonny Umansky, Conway centers around St. Louis detective Cal Conway, who finds his world turned upside down when he wakes up from a coma with exceptional cognitive abilities. Returning to the force, he sets out to solve the city’s most complex cases but the discovery of a lethal side effect makes Cal wonder whether his new abilities are more of a blessing or a curse.

This sounds like it could be very good, but didn’t stand out too much until I read that the condition that the main character is suffering from is actually based on a real condition, and it’s fascinating. Here’s the info:

The series is inspired by a real world condition, affecting just 50 people around the world, who have survived traumatic brain injuries. In these rare instances, the brain responds to trauma in spectacular ways, resulting in individuals suddenly possessing extraordinary new genius-level talents and cognitive abilities.

Now I’m hooked! It will be interesting to see who they get to play the role of Cal Conway. Does this show sound like something you’ll tune in for? Who would you like to see play the main role?
