That sucked so much of the energy in terms of Noas anger and hurt and betrayal, she says.

It was his mercy.

He was really in the scene.

He got so emotional, he had to step away a few times.

I just don’t think the words are there for him.

Metaphorical implosions are accompanied with literal ones this season.

We had a lot of interesting conversations, Hugh says of the affecting scenes.

When you’re talking about something of that seriousness, how do you depict it?

Is it gross to depict it for entertainment value?

But then in some ways, people learn from shows like this as well.

So what’s the line that you should cross and not cross?

Has Hugh seenChristopher Nolans Oscar-winningOppenheimer, about the creation of the atomic bomb, by any chance?

I thought it was amazing, she shares.

But he didn’t.

I thought that was such an interesting choice not to show the actual detonation of Hiroshima in that movie.

It didn’t come out until after we finished shooting.

It was interesting to watch in light of what weve made.

We just need more people to watch, says Hugh.

But she very much hopes to expand the sweeping world originally created by novelistMin Jin Lee.

I just want to see these boys grow up, she says.

Noas 20, 21 when we leave him, and Mozasu is 14.

To be able to see Mozasu in his 20s, fall in love for the first time.

And we also haven’t seen Solomon’s birth.

There’s still so many huge moments left to explore.
