Fascinating interview. DA can and will be rewatched multiple times and discussed by so many watchers because of its emotional depth/heart, complex characters, conflicts/social change, wit, beautiful costumes, bad/good fortunes that befall the characters, artistic merit, and most of all, because it is about what matters most-love, connection, “belonging.” There is much “meat.”
