"There was one episode we didn’t change at all. It’s the episode in the bank ['With Interest'], and that was part of the original [shoot]. Just for my money, I wasn’t into it. I didn’t like it. It was my least favorite of the episodes, and I kind of pushed back against it as much as I felt was possible."

"I don’t want to oversell it. I do happen to think it’s some of the best writing we’ve ever had on this show."
