Ruthless concern with story is what I learned in television.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The whole thing of doing a TV series, I find it very daunting not knowing where the story's going.
Television audiences are ruthless - look what happened to 'The Killing.'
Sometimes in television, if there are storylines that are oft-told, people can be hypercritical of them.
With a film, you just don't have time to build sympathy for the character. But I think we're moving away from that in TV. With TV, you have a little more leeway to allow them to rise and fall and rise again and be much more complicated beings.
What I've learned is that the most troublesome people don't tell you 100% of the story, and keep some facts to themselves. They just don't give you the full picture, and that's very worrisome to me.
One thing about television in Britain is that they're so scared about complaints. It curbs a lot of drama.
Television's not going read stories to you.
I honestly believe that TV generally is obsessed with the ratings battle to the point of cutting its own throat.
There's definitely a fascination with crime stories and stories of characters acting out against authority.
There is something supremely reassuring about television; the worst is always yet to come.
