00:00The tricky thing was keeping an audience on the sister's side, you know, when they keep trying to kill the same man.
00:08I think someone's trying to kill him.
00:12That's insane.
00:13We weren't really worried about an audience forgiving them or getting on side or any of that.
00:21It was more sort of in the second season when I sleep with my sister's husband.
00:27And I swear to God, that got such a, to me, sort of surprising reaction because I always wanted to, you know, create a love story that people sort of, despite themselves, rooted for.
00:39Like, that doesn't seem right, but she's been alone for a long time.
00:43And, like, maybe this is a good thing, but people didn't like it at all.
00:48It's interesting what people respond to.
00:50Yeah.
