During this week’s ‘TV’s Top 5’ podcast, the five-time member of the WGA's negotiating committee opens up about the dangers of mini-rooms, not investing in writers going to set and more. Plus reviews of 'Succession,' 'Yellowjackets,' 'Rabbit Hole' and more.
Your new Netflix drama, about an FBI agent who uncovers a Washington conspiracy debuted March 23. What was it about Matthew Quick’s novel — on which the show is based — appealed to you?
The book has an incredible hook. I love the idea of an underdog. I love to watch kick-ass stuff as much as everyone else. But to me, it’s not as interesting to write the indestructible guy, the John Wicks of the world, the Jason Bournes that can take on 20 people at once. I like the idea of an underdog, someone who is the least important person in a very important place, in this case, a low-level FBI agent who works in a windowless room in the basement of the White House.
The thing that made it personal for me was that I love the idea that Peter was a man who had unanswered questions about his deceased father. My father died unexpectedly in 2015. And when my brother and I went to go clean out his house, we found some newspaper articles he had saved, that without going into too much detail, brought up all sorts of questions I wanted to ask him. I was so devastated that I would never get to ask him these questions.
