Alicia Silverstone – Irish Blood

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2XYB7HVFNC4 Speaking as both a star and executive producer, this show is a pulpy mystery, a family drama and an absurdist comedy. Was that a tough tonal equilibrium to strike? One of the things I loved about the first draft that came in was the quirky nature. But then, I also wanted to make…

The Last Word

Carolina Bartczak – Plan B

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FoIOJcUm2FE What exactly is it that makes this anthology’s time travel conceit such an effective tool for a character study? I love drama; I’m super into the Scandi dramas [Scandinavian noir]. What I love about Plan B is that it is one of these dark dramas but Jean-François [Asselin], the showrunner, threw in this…

Stephanie Beatriz – Twisted Metal

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SFMG1gBtOtI How freeing is it to operate in this wacky post-apocalyptic playground? Unhinged, anything goes, no holds barred . . . Can we do this? What if we did this? It really reminds me of sitting around with my high school friends, just riffing and trying to make each other laugh and be ridiculous…

Malin Akerman – The Hunting Wives

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uZvZfqiAhdQ&t=2s What does Margo see when she looks at Sophie [Brittany Snow], this bright-eyed young newcomer to her group? “A new toy!” Margo is smart. She may not use her smarts for good, but she is definitely smart and she wants smart people around her. She likes the challenge, she likes to be titillated.…

Melanie Scrofano – Revival

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kTgFgZdcIs4 Like Wynonna Earp, Revival is based on an Image Comics graphic novel. How do the two compare and contrast? Well, that’s so funny. One of my first things was like, “I can’t try to copy Wynonna.” I was worried that I wouldn’t be able to differentiate enough, because I know it’s so special…

Botched Presents: plastic surgery rewind

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3tshrFmIDM8 This show has an interesting, Big Brother-esque quality to it that I wasn’t quite expecting . . . It is very unexpected. I think people are going to think that it’s one thing because it’s got the title of Botched Presents, but really it’s got nothing to do with Botched — except Dr.…

Paula Brancati – Hell Motel

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IWpPLcJdtlc What is it about the world of Slasher, and now Hell Motel, that excites you? You know, I think what’s most intriguing to me is our creators Aaron Martin and Ian Carpenter’s incredible writing. They come to me with such textured, delicious, insane characters every season. It’s been some of the most joyful…
