Ultimately, what I think I love about the show and what I had hoped for was you’ve got the mystery, which is super fun, and the crime elements - but it’s quirky. There’s a quirky nature to the whole thing, and on top of it, I think it’s an emotionally rich drama, and that’s what I, as an actor, want - is to be able to sink my teeth into something.”
