How are you feeling about it?
But then when I watched it, I found myself hooked, which surprised me.

It couldve worked as a sketch, but it wouldnt have worked as a show.
So I like to think weve succeeded.
The shows ending is somewhat unresolved, and we arent 100 percent sure who did it.

The tagline is Who drew the ds?
That was our reasoning.
We really didnt want a finale that focused entirely on who drew the ds.

Wed rather go that route than the perfect criminal that you know did it.
Its clear from watching that you were inspired bySerialandMaking a Murderer.
Then we went back and watchedThe Staircase.
Its a brilliant documentary.
What was the casting process like for this?
We didnt set out to cast names.
Jimmy, obviously, had a huge following, but that was not something we sought out.
We just thought he had such a good handle on the character comedically and emotionally.
In a way, a lot of these actors brought a lot of their own personalities to the show.
Tyler was so committed to the series in a way that Ive only seen from his character, Peter.
I aint no rat.
I wouldnt tell the teacher he cheated on a test.
That was all improvised.
Its kind of a clunky question in a way.
Its something thats better as improv, and Tylers so good at that.
This show has a lot of insight into high school culture.
I felt so old talking to … Getting expelled is everything.
So, it really starts with your main documentarians there.
Have you thought about what a potential season 2 might look like?
