He had said at that time, “I’m excited for audiences to see Rhea play a very different character than the character she played on Better Call Saul,” as quoted by Deadline. Gilligan also said that, “She plays someone who’s trying very hard to be good. She’s a bit of a damaged hero, but she’s a hero nonetheless,” as quoted in the report.
While Seehorn said that, “I can’t wait for it to come out, though. Some of the stuff that audiences have loved about his writing, where it’s really rich characters but also him playing with the idea of tropes and genres and tone, and switching, like injected humor in a very dark moment — in this new show, he pushes that to a limit that was both very thought-provoking and upsetting sometimes, and other times, so, so funny. It really swings for the fences. I had so much fun,” as quoted by Deadline.
