“It’s noir,” Ben said when about the atmosphere of the show, according to the LA Times. “The structure that exists around [Gordon] is so daunting and challenging that no single man can overcome it.”

“I think oftentimes what drives a woman in all our stories is very different than what we’re used to seeing,” Jada said about her character Fish Mooney. “It’s unlike anything I’ve done before.”
