“There's been a lot of comparisons to "The Prisoner," and sometimes people take a negative tact on that, but to be really honest, I count that as a compliment, in the sense that what I felt "The Prisoner" was for the '60's, in how the individual triumphs over the state and authority, our show is really about how complacent we have become in our lives, which are scrutinized.” PeopleSometimesStatesShowsIndividualFeltOur LivesHonestAuthorityNegativeTriumphComparisonComplimentPrisonerComplacentTact Author:Remi Aubuchon

“What we're really trying to tell, even though it's very much a genre show, is a very human story.

“I feel confident that we will have a beginning, middle and end, in this season, and it was wise of NBC to then call it what it really is, which is a mini-series. "24" is a really good example, in that there was a definitive beginning, middle and end for the first season. They had a slightly different format than we have, but the second season just retained Jack Bauer and a few other players, with the same basic format and idea, but it was a completely different show.” FeelsFirstsIdeasDifferentEndsShowsWisePlayerMiddleExampleSeasonsSeriesFormatGood ExamplesNbcBeginning Middle And End Author:Remi Aubuchon
“When you're working on a television show with actors, what you hope you're doing is playing jazz with them all the time. You see what they're giving you, so you try to write back to that, and then they play with that, and you get a sense of what is going on. That's just a natural way in which TV series usually work.” WayGivingWritingTryingPlayShowsActorsNaturalTelevisionTvsJazzSeriesTelevision ShowsTv SeriesPlaying Jazz Author:Remi Aubuchon
