It means the absolute world to me, to us.“A lot of people sometimes ask me why a show this dark has gone on to be the success that it’s had."I think in a lot of ways, people were kind of crying out for something that spoke to the kind of painful inconsistencies of being human."“I think right now, when the world’s in the state that it’s in and people are really struggling, we need stories that speak to the complicated and difficult nature of our times.“Any story when done right, it’s universal, and all the weird, idiosyncratic struggles we go through on a daily basis are just as worthy of being committed to screen as any.”In the winner's room, Gadd touched on how the show became controversial following the lawsuit filed against Netflix by Harvey, who claims to be the "real" Martha Scott.Gadd said: "I can't go into too much detail on these matters.
