I really appreciated that decision. Tell me about Beatrix HASP's story about the last two episodes.
Yes. Well, we knew we wouldn't have HASP and her pigeons chasing Charlie, but we wanted to end in some way. So, indeed, the story of Alex, the story of Harrison, that it was like, "Okay, it's the 2nd (great idea)," though it was introduced later. Started with that. With, like, "Okay, we want to present this character." We once knew Laura Deli, one of our writers, came up with the idea of this character. So, it just seemed a natural way of the like, "Well, why this character of Alex, this great killer, Iguana, Meta Charlie?" "Well, to get HASP." So, then there was a way of, okay, it seems that we solve HASP early, and we do it, but then we have it in the back pocket to come back later.
And structurally, it was almost like (keep your cake and eat too much scenario). Then we could have this middle part where Charlie is on the road, kind of this existential road trip, she tries to calm down, and then this element we thought we put it to bed early in the season appearing in another form than people might expect.
Absolutely. So when was the decision to increase the episode count this season, to go from 10 to 12?
Before I come.
Well. Well, was that something you were excited or anxious, or ... How did I feel about it?
Frightened. Yes. That is, weird, it's significantly different - like the previous show I was on Longmir, we always did 10 seasons in the episode, but one season we made 13 and almost crashed the show. I don't know how network shows make those 20 plus orders. They are superheroes for me so I can get that one. I mean, the challenge of this show, it might be less daunting, but each episode is its own pilot, its own mini-film. We literally, to the very good and good apartment of Buddy, any set we build, crashed after 10 days. We lose all acting roles and we must rewrite the whole show. That means we need to get suits for every new character, new props, new locations, new everything. So, it's two more turns of that very frightening wheel with a hamster.
Is that a really expensive show because of all the things you mentioned? It seems to be externally.
Not that expensive, I don't think, like HBO show. We stick to a 10 -day schedule. But I would say we are ... I think, it's a bigger budget from any show I was, but I haven't been to big budgeting. So I think we are probably kind of somewhere in the middle.
