The Pitch for The Lesser Of Two Evils

I've got a new idea for a series. It's a little bit West Wing, a little bit The Prisoner, and a touch of Lovecraft. For the moment I'll call it "The Lesser Of Two Evils". I'll make it open-source as well (like The Gods Of Troy), in case any Hollywood producers stumble across this blog. All I ask for is acknowledgement in the credits. Here's the concept in a nutshell:

1st Season: A young idealistic person runs for the big office and against all odds becomes President of the United States. The season starts with the last couple hurdles of his campaign, and he's sworn in mid-season. We see him fight the good fight, a rockin' first 100 days in office. But eventually, he gets worn down and loses his defiant rebel spark. Not just the result of washington politics as usual, but for more sinister reasons. Much like Twin Peaks, the story starts out looking like a mundane drama but eventually pans open to reveal terrible inhuman monstrosities. Lovecraftian demons inhabit the hallowed halls of congress and the white house, and he must battle for the fate of his very soul, as evil can be so seductive. He lies (to congress!), he cheats, he bombs random nations, he sins terribly because the ends justifies the means, or so he tells himself. Plans even cross his desk to fake a terrorist attack upon the US to justify declaring martial law. The last episode of the season ends with him realizing his many mistakes and atoning by sacrificing himself to prevent the veil between worlds ripping open and unleashing the hordes of hell upon a largely unsuspecting populace. He dies a true hero.

2nd Season: Much to the viewer's surprise, we open to a shot of the President who gave his life in the previous season. He's much older now, wiser, more weathered. Somehow he survived his ordeal, and the world doesn't know how close it came to destruction. He's no longer in office. Instead, a close friend and confidant, perhaps his best friend, or even his wife, is running for office, and he's stumping for them on the campaign trail. We expect a similar set-up, as the first episode of the season parallels that of the first of the previous season. But instead, the campaign section just drags on. It never transitions to the white house - this season takes a noneuclidean path, as the same footage gets used again and again with only minor variation. It's like a timeloop has swallowed reality. Eventually, near the end of the Season, we learn it's not really the President we loved from Season One. It's not really the First Lady who stood by his side regardless of the supernatural entities that threatened him, nor the drastic measures he took to fight them. Both have been replaced by bloodthirsty Simulacra, horrible soul-less false-humans, designed to distract and divert the nation from the coming apocalypse. They've been completely co-opted by the very forces they tried to battle in Season 1. This season has no hero, and the ending is just a bitter tragedy.

Problem is, I'm not sure whether this plays better as horror-fiction, or just a documentary.
