TV PRESS:
- A Friend of the Family Review: A Disturbing, Confounding True Crime Series
“Much of the series’ success is owed to Antosca (who has proven himself to be one of the best minds in television) and his excellent crew of writers and directors (including Brian Chamberlayne, Alana B. Lytle, Lucy Teitler, Rachel Goldberg, Eliza Hittman, Steven Piet, Jamie Travis, and more).”
- ‘A Friend of the Family’ Cast on B’s Lack of Humanity, Manipulation of the Brobergs & More
“There’s one memorable experience shooting where Mary Ann [Anna Paquin] has come to my motor home, and I hit her with about six different tactics to try to keep her in my orbit. It felt really not good,” he says with a laugh. “Doing the scene, I thought like, ‘Is this reading? This seems inorganic and not connected to anything.’”
He continues, “Nick [Antosca], who’s our wonderful writer and producer, and Rachel [Goldberg], who is directing, were like, ‘Well, you are looking for the humanity to connect these moments, but this is a person who’s devoid of that. It probably will feel unnatural to you, because you’re not a psychopath.’ This person is shamelessly willing to pivot from seduction to compassion to victimhood to aggression — whatever means necessary to get someone back under their control. The attempt to bring humanity was superseded by the need to be honest with this story.”
