00:00Do you think that it's easier to empathize with young people?
00:05Because this is one of your choices.
00:08In these themes, I think about a film like Wall Street,
00:12who have an adult point of view.
00:16Here is the youngest point of view.
00:19It's funny, because even in season one,
00:21where these characters were 21 years old,
00:23we still have people criticize them for their behaviors
00:25and say, how could they behave like this?
00:27But their response and our response would be,
00:30these are not fully formed people.
00:32They are young people who are a sort of product of trauma and background,
00:38behaving in a way that makes them think,
00:40which they think is going to be edifying for them.
00:42And I feel like a younger character doing this kind of behavior
00:46is more understandable, if not excusable, than an older character.
00:50And that was kind of the route into it for us.
00:52Everything that's in politics or in the spirit of the time,
00:56starts to bleed into the writing.
00:59We can't help but write about what season four ended up being about,
01:02which was kind of like entrepreneurship and fintech
01:06and the rise of authoritarianism in Europe and the US.
01:09This is just stuff that sort of bleeds into it
01:11as we break the story arcs of the characters.
01:14And then a lot of the themes that we've been writing about since season one
01:16are just pretty universal themes across drama.
01:19Like there are bits about ambition and status and identity and class
01:23and all of these, you know, it's almost like writing these characters
01:27because they're all from such different backgrounds
01:29becomes a bit of a social experiment.
01:30And so I'm going to make sure you are as a social experiment.
01:32So, I'm going to draw a little bit of a social experiment.
01:33Now, I'm going to draw a little bit of a social experiment.
