Today, we have another bonus episode.
Now that season five is over, I wanted to get the whole team together, our producers, our editors, to talk about how the season came to be and all of the moments that stuck with us along the way.
Here's our conversation.
We did this last year where after we released season four, we got together and talked about all of our favorite moments, what it was like producing the season.
And I thought that it would be kind of fun to do it again.
Maybe where we can start is going around and everyone introduce themselves and tell a little bit about how you worked on the show.
I think a really great place to start is how we found the story in the first place.
I think this question goes to Caitlin.
Can you tell us a little bit about how this season and how Saskia's story came to be?
I think for me, the fact that he could watch this person spiral, wake up with black eyes, wake up on the bathroom floor, feel like she is going crazy, feel like she is just now destined to walk the same path as her father who struggled with mental health.
And to know that you were doing something in the dark that could contribute to that is just so cruel.
To me, that's why I thought this was a really good season.
Like the two things that were happening, light of day and in the darkness.
The other aspect of the story that I just was like,
from an emotional point of view.
I think I've always really wanted to dismantle the idea of the perfect victim because I feel like
We just really default to this understanding of righteous rape.
