“It’s been the highlight of my career,” Tigelaar said “I keep joking, ‘I guess I’m done!'” The two build on each other’s points and are equally effusive in their praise of the series and the source material. The close bond between Tigelaar and Ng is evident from their conversation. By being able to see Witherspoon and Washington square off, Ng said the audience can then see the “power see-saw” the two shift back and forth throughout the show’s eight episodes. “We’re telling the story now through the lens of a black woman, her parents are immigrants,” Tigelaar says. It’s a facet Tigelaar and the rest of the writers were excited to dive into. For the author, the limited series is able to put those topics front and center in a way different than she had been able to articulate on the page.
