Season 2 followed this journey of Michael.

And in my research, what I was doing in terms of ekphrases and ekphrastic work, when I looked at some of Caravaggio's paintings, there were three sets.

There was, in the sequence, a triptych.

It was the calling of St.

Matthew, the inspiration of St.

Matthew, and the martyrdom of St.

Matthew.

And according to St.

Matthew, it speaks in biblical verse where Jesus went, Matthew, and basically Jesus said to Matthew, follow me.

And I know I was, I feel like I'm really trolling Jesus.

I'm not meant to be last night.

I've kind of said these things, but really, if Jesus says, follow me, you're just going to be like, oh, dude, let's rock and roll.

And then I had a moment.

I was just like, where have I seen?

And this is some of the work that I'm trying to do in this book is

Where have I seen someone of a high figure speak to someone who was looking up to that person and they're trying to aspire to be that person?

And I'm like, gangs.

I'm like, I see it in gangs.

I see it in all these different things.

You've got this kid that's looking up to this person who makes this amount of money, who wants to be this person.
