![]() The travel was something that attracted me. The concept of it was really amazing, with eight people from around the world, shot in live locations. Also, there was the fact that it’s a Netflix show, and Netflix is known to have very unique and interesting and gritty stuff. And then, the rest of the season was emailed to me, and I was so off the mark with my predictions. I very confidently told them about what I understood of the show, where it was going to go, what they meant, and what their intentions were, and they very politely nodded along. And then, because I wasn’t able to fly to London for the second round of auditions, they went onto Skype with me to see what I was like, as a person. So, I did the audition based on the understanding that I had of the scenes. Like the audience, I was utterly and completely clueless. Also, they only emailed me three episodes from the season, so I didn’t even know what the entire story was, where it was going, or what sensates are. Even the fact that we were being considered for such a project and that they were looking at relatively newer actors, at least in my case. Of course, the Wachowskis are a very big name. When this project first came your way, what was it that originally appealed to you about it and ultimately intrigued you enough to sign on for the show?ĭESAI: It was a variety of reasons for me. It was nice because you had that creative freedom, going into playing the character again. With this season, she gave us the liberty to use whatever tone we wanted. In the first season, she directed us more and tried different tones, in performing each scene. And then, with this season, Lana gave us more freedom to do what we wanted to do within the scenes. There’s a deeper understanding of what your director and writer, and in this case they’re the same people, expect of you from the character, and there’s a better understanding within you, for what you want to do with the character. That’s why I always like shooting a film, after I shoot the film. TINA DESAI: For me, it was easier to go back into the second season because you’ve played the character through a season, and then when you watch how it actually comes out in the edit, my understanding of the character improves. We traveled to 17 places in the world, and that was fun. It was tough, but also lots of fun, traveling to all of these different places. That represents how committed we had to be, in the second season. When we started the second season, we had to jump off of a platform on a rig, just to show our will to cross a certain line or to overcome our fears. I felt like we tried to reach even higher and they tried to challenge us more, and pushed the boundaries, in every way. Being together, so intensely, for eight months is really challenging. I usually do films, and you do two months and then forget about it. MAX RIEMELT: For me, it was new, in the way that I’d never gone back to a project with a character. Did it feel any different, returning for Season 2 and doing a second season, after having a season to find your footing, or was there a whole new set of challenges for this season? No one had ever tried anything like this before, when this TV series started. Collider: This show was a huge undertaking.
