Snapchat launches original TV shows tailored to mobile audiences

Fall is here and the curtain is going up on new TV shows, ranging from mystery stories with young female tech-savvy crime-solvers, to reality shows following the lives of emerging drag queens and social media stars. 

You might expect to find such fare on the CW or an edgy, youth-oriented cable channel. Instead, they are among more than a dozen new programmes from the company behind the video file sharing app Snapchat.
