What consent means is evolving, and rightfully so.
Were trying to curb any problems and any tragic events from happening.
We wanted to write an episode around the confusion, the not knowing, the ignorance.

Bobby says, Oh wait by your definition, then Ive made a huge mistake.
Its an episode around the evolving definition of consent.
Like anything we talk about, we want to handle it with care.
Clearly, we dont take it seriously enough.
Carmichael notes that the mentions of Trump were carefully reviewed by the connection.
I think we kind of teed it on the line.
I think we ultimately got to the honesty of it.
I told you why we went: Iraq has oil.
Its a full discussion about that.
And we say n six times.
Was that a tough sell to NBC?
And how exactly did he arrive at that number?
We wrote it four times and we ended up saying it six times in the episode.
Its a tricky situation: Should you stay around for your loved ones?
Those types of questions are really begged in the episode.
Its one of our favorite ones.
Is your worth rooted in how you look?
In sum, season 3 looks to be the shows best yet, according to Carmichael.
Everything that the characters talk about feels honest to them, he notes.
Ive never been more excited than anything.
Im so happy with every single episode.
We dont write with the intention of offending, notes Carmichael, we write with the intention of exploring.
Their compass tends to be pointed in the right direction.
The Carmichael Showairs Wednesdays at 9 p.m. on NBC.
