We Is Us

So it's set in Albuquerque or, you know, where Carol lives in Albuquerque.

What was the thought behind going back to Albuquerque after Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul, but a totally different side of Albuquerque than we've seen?

I love Albuquerque, and even more than that, I love our crew.

I've been working with this.

We have been working with this crew for some folks since the very beginning of Breaking Bad, which dates back to 2007, which as we record this is, what is that, 18 years ago? Wow.

I can't even believe it when I say it.

It can

vote.

The concept of

the

crew.

That's rude, Jen.

That's

very rude.

Yeah.

So I wanted to work with the same crew.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

And it did give me a little pause, to be honest, thinking, should we set it in Albuquerque, even though we're shooting in Albuquerque? And then I thought, no, you can't.

spend half your energy trying to hide the fact.

Oh, you mean shoot

Albuquerque as a different city?

Yeah, because, I mean, when they first pitched it to me, Breaking Bad, shoot Albuquerque as Los Angeles.

And that was one of the smart decisions I made.

I made a lot of dumb ones, too, but the smart one was don't pretend it's L.A. because it's going to be very, you can't ever show the Sandias if you do

that.
