Paul Scheuring quotes about
caustic dark liked people reaction ultimately
I think people really liked that show in kind of a dark way or they had a very caustic reaction to it. This story is ultimately about hope. It's about the caper. It's about the mystery. This is not about the depravities of mankind.
pilots facts bigs
I've interfaced with a lot of other creators of serialized shows, and I've really been blown away by the fact that they create a big spectacle, at the beginning, in the pilot, and they don't ultimately know where they're going. That's terrifying to me, and creatively disingenuous.
thought-provoking secret original-thought
Before I even put pen to paper, in any sense, I'm like, "What's the coolest MacGuffin you can come up with? What are the last frames of this series?" The secret that's behind this entire thing is to be as evocative, original, thought-provoking and timely.
narrative tropes audience
I have a great amount of respect for the audience. They know narrative construct. They know all the tropes.
