“The great thing about the series — and what really drew me to it — is that it’s so twisty and nothing is as it seems ,” said Kidman during a panel at the Television Critics Association. Showrunner David E. Kelley added, “This particular piece, the theme and the core of denial that these characters lived in and inhabited, drew me in...The propensity that they all had to draw false narratives about who they were, who their partners were, who people in their lives were, and giving rise to delusions that have a surprising tenacity.”
