THE TAKE

What to keep, remove and improve

KEEP

The idea creates a simple question. Each reveal gives us part of the answer.

Most comments talk about the people. That tells us what viewers remembered.

It did better than nearby uploads even after adjusting for age.

REMOVE OR REDUCE

The opening shows something big, but it takes too long to tell us what can go wrong.

The middle needs one clear change so viewers can feel the story moving.

IMPROVE OR ADD

Ask one clear question at the start. Make each section answer part of it.

Add a choice, loss or rule change near the middle. Show why it matters before the next section.
