Cause it had the potential.

There was like, it had the potential to be incredibly satirical, but I didn't know.

Like it's so you're shooting so much and it's a lot of it's improvised and you have no idea really what, what, what the tone of the show is.

So there were scenes that were really funny.

Rachel was hysterically funny.

So when I was coming up with this show, it's a brother-sister situation.

I don't like writing, especially knowing that this was going to be like brother-sister writing.

through the whole show.

I really wanted a female voice to speak to the reality of the lived experience of this character.

I didn't think that it was appropriate if I just created this woman and didn't have the nuance that it would take for a female perspective to kind of lend itself to this woman.

And so I went to Rachel with the little idea and said, would you...

create this with me?

And she said, yes.

And we kind of worked over zoom for a long time and then wrote the pilot and then sold the show.

Well, it's unbelievable.

I think that was the fun thing about finding Taylor was we had to find someone who was going to kind of walk into this part and

and not just be doing Rachel.

Right.

You know?

And like, as soon as Taylor put herself on tape, it was clear that her interpretation of the character was going to be something different.
