Compelling character dramas with interesting settings are what I like. Some of the series I've really liked recently(as in I've watched them recently) have been The Newsroom, True Detective, Walking Dead, Black Sails, Once Upon a Time, and Spartacus. I like the interaction of characters that carry the story more so than the crazy setting they are in. I also like overarching themes or stories throughout a season or series. Their character arcs are important too, such as me disliking a character to only have it grow and thus so does my interest for them. I like said characters to also have a lot of grey to their personalities. I relate with that as the world isn't black and white and if characters are just two sided then I don't relate and I don't tune in. A show can be in whatever setting but it needs compelling character drama for me to get hooked and come back each week.

As a show for a Music Channel, well music obviously but that's long gone from those channels now. If they were looking for a series, sitcom, whatever than I'd suggest something that deals with music. A show about some kids trying to make it as a band and all the drama involved with that. Not even their rise to success just them as a band. Or like the new show Empire, it's all the drama involved with producing music. Something like that. If you really want to get down to it, I'd watch a show about a Art/music school and all the drama with that. Like Gossip Girl but with music students. I would watch that. So character dramas but keep it to the channel's music theme at least.
