And then, hopefully, that would allow the show to stay interesting to an audience.
That meant telling a lot of different stories.
What resulted are eight episodes with varying styles that tackle the many aspects of modern sex and relationships.

Sort of approaching a season of TV like I would approach making eight different films and building this world.
Coming from features, I like starting a project, telling the story, and then finishing that project.
It was kind of schizophrenic sometimes because we were reinventing the wheel each time out.
Every story was approached with its own visual look, with its own vibe.
Some are more funny than others, and all the casts have different acting methods.
But I also wanted to create a show that you could come to in any order, really.
Tell me about deciding on the shows name.It was a long process.
[Laughs] I didnt want to pick a name.
Easy was a word that I really loved.
I just love how it looks and how it sounds.
That episodes all in Spanish.
We set it in this neighborhood called Pilsen, which has a big Mexican population.
Its still improvised, but all the dialogues in Spanish and subtitled in English.
Whats exciting to me is they all feel to me like theyre for different audiences.
If you had to pick one word to describe the show, what word would that be?Accessible.
[Laughs] I sort of say that jokingly, but I also did think a lot about it.
