The cast chatted with Variety about the spicy scenes, sneaking cigarettes in between takes and much more.

One of the finest, if not the finest, Netflix original. One thing I have not seen talked about a lot are the music choices. The show beginning and ending with Smashing Pumpkins songs hit my feels in a major way. The moment the guitar from "Mayonaise" started...fuck. A nearly perfect show.

I personally think the series is about twin flame connections. The connections is there, their life path and characters are are mirroring each others, and to be connected they need to pass through the bloodfights and feuds. Beautifully wrapped ending I must say. I don't need season 2. Season 1 ending is more than enough ❤

I would say what feels strange or unfamiliar is that it focuses on a deeply American experience that isn't often represented in media or popculture. I would say it's 100% American, just not what people typically associate with the American "brand" or experience.

I personally think the main reason that Paul and Amy's story of rage and revenge could turn into a deep romantic connection, is the same reason why this whole thing escalated to such a degree in the first place. All the repression and unwillingness to accept and process their anger at the world was finally released at each other and they at the end oddly became one another's safe space bc they related so deeply

And it STAYED a comedy, unlike a couple of shows that started as great comedies (dark at times, but the best kind) only to take the shows into almost straight drama. Ali Wong is one lovely lady.
