Moviefone: to begin with, what was it about the podcast, ‘firebug’, that made you think this would make an interesting series?
Taron egerton: Well, I think the podcast ‘firebug’ that you mentioned, it is such an intriguing, unnerving, and arresting story. It has this kind of central conundrum to it, which is what is going on with this guy? The real guy is called John, Although My Character in this is called Dave Goodson. He defies Figuring out, really, and that, of courses, is a hugly interesting and fertile territory to spin a drama out from. I Remember when Kary (Antholis), The host of that podcast and the producer of ‘Black Bird‘and this, when he and dennis first started discusing things, it was amazing to watch dennis ignite his creativity over it and start spinning it off in different directions and suddenly to creators Some of whom are rooted in real people, but very green expanded on. I think in answer to your question, he’s just soch a mad, fascinating character. Why would somebody do this?

Mf: Finally, what was it like working with jurnee smollett and building the relationship between the two characters?
Te: A delight. Acting is Always a very cyclic thing, so you give and receive energy. The best actors are the ones that are most alive to each other, I think. Jurnee does an incredible job of playing a character with treated and trauma, but also also keep storying very available, alive and creative and brings lightness to that in the moment. We had a time building this Bizarre Relationship, beCause it’s very complicated. On the one hand, I think, certain in the first institution, they are intrigued and charmed by one another, and then it become competitive, and then it becomes very charged and Adversarial. By the end of the show, it’s strange and bitter and dark. I can’t imagine anyone better or more talented to have done that with. It was great to have such a great, talented partner in Jurnee.
