Rather than compete against each other for the rights to the story, they ultimately teamed up, with director“A good part of the first year was spent figuring out what form it should take and the best way to tell it,” Timberman says, sitting with Grant in the police station’s mock conference room, while crew members reset lighting nearby. “There was a lot of trial and error. Particularly with Marie’s story and finding the right way in.
Initial plans to shoot scenes following the rapist were quickly scrapped. “There was a part of the story that was him stalking a future victim, and ultimately we ended up dropping that entire bit,” Timberman recalls. “[Netflix] felt strongly that his point of view was unnecessary for the storytelling.… You know, it’s not a portrait of a serial killer.
They jumped in at the deep end when production started, scheduling director Cholodenko to shoot the central assault scene on day two. “What’s also been interesting is that there’s been an almost therapeutic process at work in making this show,” Timberman says, looking for affirmation to Grant, who nods.
But the bruising seriousness on the set is threaded with levity. The actors rehearse a scene in which Collette shrugs off Wever’s attempts at friendship. “Don’t do that sincere this-meant-the-world-to-me, women-bonding shit!” she snipes, to which Wever audibly mutters, “Cunt!" While shooting another scene, Collette side-eyes the camera perched behind her. “I’m nervous that my butt is very much on show,” she says, cracking a wide smile.
As for the role of Marie, Dever’s name came up very early on. Timberman had been an executive producer on the serieswhich the actor joined at the age of 13. “Kaitlyn lights up when she smiles,” Timberman says affectionately, and it was crucial to find someone who could create that sense of a young person still pulsing with vitality and tender sweetness despite the shattering events that have derailed her life.
Great show!
I just finished binging on the 8 episodes and I have to say that this is, in fact, an uplifting show, even though the weirdest and saddest events are concerned, the way the 2 female detectives handle them is riveting and justice is served at the end, which is as it should be.
Marathoned the entire season yesterday. Great show, although it is sad and shocking. Can't stop thinking about Marie.
