Carlito RodriguezGUEST
So we still kept our options open.
Carlito RodriguezGUEST
When we went on Washington Black, we actually went on there separately.
Carlito RodriguezGUEST
We weren't splitting up.
Carlito RodriguezGUEST
We weren't writing partners, right? So, you know, then after that...
Niceole LevyGUEST
I don't know that they necessarily have crossover that's obvious.
Niceole LevyGUEST
I mean, part of the reason that I will always argue that Hill Street Blues is the greatest show in the history of television is it literally changed how TV drama was made.
Niceole LevyGUEST
And it opened the world up for all the writers who came after.
Niceole LevyGUEST
And like, I've been to events and heard, you know, Kurt Sutter and Sean Ryan and other people talk about Hill Street and how influential it was on them.
Niceole LevyGUEST
And so most of the shows everyone would be like, no, it's this show.
Niceole LevyGUEST
We're made by people who love Hill Street Blues.
Niceole LevyGUEST
So that's kind of what my argument is.
Niceole LevyGUEST
And so as an adult, if someone makes a mistake, sometimes it's much harder to forgive because you're looking at their mistake through the lens of all the hurt you've taken on over the years.
Paynudeh AllenGUEST
to support staff, which could be considered to be a little bit of hell, but...
Megan MaherHOST
So how did you kind of get started with support staff? Because you and I met in support staff on Washington Black, I was the showrunner's assistant, you were the writer's assistant, and we had such a fabulous time together.
Megan MaherHOST
We did,
Paynudeh AllenGUEST
yeah.
Paynudeh AllenGUEST
But then also like COVID kind of derailed that a little bit.
Paynudeh AllenGUEST
So that was his own experience.
Paynudeh AllenGUEST
And then when I worked on Washington Black with you, That was also a whole different beast as well.
Paynudeh AllenGUEST
I'd never worked on a drama before.
