I think you have to do certain things in the pilot to get your network's attention - to break through... So maybe you push a little further in the first show.

When you're shooting a network television show it inevitably starts airing a few episodes in, and depending on the ratings and the response from the public, you find yourself tweaking your performance or the scripts go in a different direction.

Shooting a television show can be very difficult and at times can really wear on you. If you keep reminding yourself that it is a job and you show up together as a team and as a whole, you can prevail.

You can't do television shows caring whether or not the network picks you up. You can only do them enjoying the work, because if you're always on pins and needles about whether you'll be picked up, you'll lose your mind. I learned that the hard way.

There's certain things that you can do on cable that you can't do here on network TV, so then you have to think outside the box a little bit.

Directing television is really hard - it's so fast. You shoot an hour show in seven days.

I did a network show in the U.S. before, and I loved it, but you have eight days to shoot an episode, and it's just a ridiculous pace.

In television you don't have a lot of time to spend with the role or the script. Typically you get a script a week prior to shooting. Sometimes it's even less time, not enough time to dream about the role.

At this point, I can't say what network would be picking it up, but I know that it would be a success.
