Everybody keeps falling back to the same patterns without doing too much dramaturgy.

The more constraints I have, the more opportunities I have to be creative to fix those constraints.

First of all, there is absolutely an order that we have put together to create the maximum number of surprises, but that's just part of our storytelling.

The revolution is here. It's established that Netflix is a place where you can get premium content. It's a whole new world. It's very interesting. We'll be discovering it together. It's going to be interesting because they don't have a lot to compare it to.

I think it actually makes more sense for a new audience than the old show did because we're focusing on one character at a time. It's all conjecture why somebody didn't watch, but one of the theories was that there was just so much information, even in the trailers and promos, of all these different people.

What you'll gain is the macro story. You'll get a good command of that. And what you might lose is some of the fun of it.

Even on the old show, we would maybe not all be in the scene. Sometimes there would be a penthouse scene and everyone would get together. But, even in that context, it would be because somebody was missing.
