Showrunner Alexandra Cunningham explains her long fascination with the case and why she chose a different structure for the second season of the anthology.
after a strong first season on Bravo. Amanda Peet and Christian Slater star as Betty and Dan Broderick.about the current season's thematic ties to the first run, why Broderick's story is relevant now and how the structure of the story has changed from season to season.We had a two-season pickup initially, but of course I knew that John Meehan dies [at the end of season one].
I watched those movies, I've read most of the books, I've listened to podcasts. I've probably taken in most of the material about Betty out there. I definitely understand the takes, but I do feel like most of them seem very focused on the what and not the why.
I made a choice from the beginning that I wanted people to know what was at stake in this particular discussion of a relationship, to know what the endgame is for these two people and then explore how that could have happened and why, as opposed to the what. I kept thinking about what the prosecutor at the trial kept saying — which is a valid point for an assistant district attorney — "I don't want you to think about why this happened. I only want you think about what she did.
These are two people who got into a kind of cycle of attrition, where Dan wanted to move on and Betty could not accept that. He was clearly a super intelligent, very hard-working, talented man who I think everyone would say was without peer when it came to interpreting the psychology of juries. But then when it comes to this woman he knows so well, all of this finesse kind of disappears.
