Some great and accurate feedback here. I would ditch this track and start over with some basic compositional plans in mind. Keep. It. Simple. :)

Check out two books written by Taxi members: "Demystifying The Genre" by Dean Krippaehne, and "Writing Production Music for TV" by Steve Barden. These books will save you hours and hours of time and frustration.

In a nutshell, tv cues need to have a basic structure where you introduce a theme or mood for 4-8 bars, then change it up in the next 4-8 bars. Stick with the same theme throughout the entire cue, trade that theme between instruments, do some slight variations, etc. Don't over think it. :)

Your post inspired me to do a quick video tutorial on Dramedy. Give this a watch and let me know if you have any questions.
