One of the things I'm proud of is my ability to change directions if something's not working.
I'm done with the shows about "women got murdered by husband." My wife watches them constantly, but it makes me want to kill myself. They serve no purpose. They're not news shows. They just exploit all of these murder victims.
Any time you try to be edgy just for the sake of being edgy, that's the worst way.
If something's working, you lean into it. You don't fight it.
It's a nightmare of editing. That's what I do all day.
Part of walking the line as showrunner is trying to please people and still be true to what you believe creatively.
