QAASIM: I think that’s one of the things that we modulate in the show as an editor. Episode Eight, The Orpheus Syndrome, which Natasha Lyonne directed – there was a Hitchcock inspiration to it. Hitchcock talks about how he found that there was suspense in the audience understanding all the elements of the danger. I actually think we modulate between having the audience be behind and the audience be ahead. For example, they always know who the murderer is…

There’s a combination of giving the audience all of the information so they understand the murder in detail and can enjoy the ride when Charlie/Natasha is putting together all the pieces, while simultaneously holding back some information, so that we can pull a card and the audience can say, “Oh wow, I didn’t realize that,” and we can have all these turns. I believe we’re actually playing both of those simultaneously on the show.
