Im a little disappointed.

Theyre fully fleshed out, hypocritical, contradictory, lovely, awful human beings.
So many people are left out of that dialogue.
All of the stories I collected, I wanted those voice to be in this narrative from jump.

Its just a dream come true.
I cant even say that my goal was to teach people anything.
To me, thats the opposite of what the show is about.

My initial instinct was, I want to direct as much of this as possible.
But the logistics of making of TV, thats just not possible.
I knew I needed to do that in the middle of the season.
And, I very much wanted Barry Jenkins to direct an episode of the show.
I just think he did a great job.
But it being a gun, specifically, that was closer to when the show was a reality.
So, what I was thinking had to adapt to where we are culturally now.
I gotta tell you, shooting that episode want to talk about a gut punch?
It got very emotional, very tense on the set.
And [EP] Yvette Lee Bowser is sort of our mama bear.
We just sort of followed that instinct down the rabbit hole and ended up where we ended up.
Plot-wise, I knew the last episode was going to be an all-stars episode.
The season ends with Troy being taken away in handcuffs.
I cant give it all away.
That didnt work for him in any way.
I mean, he clearly snapped.
So what do you do now when your identity has literally shattered like glass around you in that situation?
Thats definitely the question were going to go into in season 2 with in regards to Troy.
I think thats an interesting thing to explore.
How do you plan on exploring the theme of struggling to stay woke while also having a life further?
Shes such a popular character and she also kind of represents all of us.
