00:00The show had me glued to my TV screen waiting for it to drop every single week.

00:04What has the fan response been like for you?

00:06Oh my gosh, it's been so amazing.

00:08Like everybody's loved the show so much and it's such a nice feeling because we all worked so hard on it

00:13and it really felt like a family affair and so it's so nice when everybody you love works so hard on something

00:19and then it's been really well received.

00:20Yeah, people loved it.

00:21People would text me and like say, oh my God, I'm so annoyed that I have to wait a week

00:26and I'd be kind of like, sorry.

00:28Literally, every time when an episode ended, I was like, no, what do you mean?

00:33I know, a lot of my friends were like, tell me honestly, like, should I binge it or should I watch it?

00:37And I was like, I think you should watch it weekly.

00:39Like, it's a lot in one go.

00:42But then they were like, I shouldn't have listened to you.

00:44Like, I should have just binged it.

00:46Now, it seems like next season might tackle, you know, a new crime and a new story.

00:51But do you think there's any chance we could see a, you know, a cameo or even your character coming back?

00:56I have no idea.

00:59Every time we see Brad Inglesby, the creator, we're all like, so Brad, what are you writing?

01:04What's going on?

01:06No, I have no idea.

01:07I mean, you know, my storyline was very nicely wrapped up at the end of season one.

01:11But it would be a joy to come back.

01:13But I'm going to be watching it either way.

01:15Like, I'm so excited.

01:16I think Brad's amazing.

01:17And I'm just, I think Mark Ruffalo's amazing.

01:20And so I'm just excited that they're partnering up, yeah.

01:23And since we're here at the Critics' Choice Awards, do you read reviews of your projects or do you avoid them?

01:29It depends.

01:30Like, I'm not someone that when something comes out, I'm like, I don't have Twitter.

01:34So I'm not, like, on Twitter, like, checking.

01:36I'm very much like I film.

01:38And then when it's out, I live under a rock.

01:40I hate my phone.

01:41I literally never answer my phone the first time someone calls me.

01:44So I'm not very on it.

01:46But sometimes, you know, you end up seeing things.

01:49But it's been really nice.

01:51Like, we got, TAS got a shout-out in the Philly Enquirer.

01:55And they were like, everyone's accents are the best.

01:57Like, this is great.

01:58And so that was really nice to see.

01:59So I've seen some reviews, yeah.

02:01Definitely.

02:01People have been really lovely about the show.

02:04Now, as someone who, you know, is in a former Best Picture winner,

02:07what's a movie that you've loved this year that's kind of in the awards conversation?

02:11Oh, my gosh, there's so many films right now that are phenomenal.

02:15I mean, Sentimental Value is just amazing.

02:18I was a big, you know, worst person in the world fan.

02:20That was the same year as Coda.

02:22And I, yeah, I just thought it was brilliant.

02:25I haven't seen Marty Supreme yet, but I'm very excited to see it.

02:28I've seen all the press and everything.

02:30And so I'm excited to see that.

02:32Yeah, no, it's been a great year.

02:33A great year, yeah.
