Showrunner Bruce Miller talks to Write On about what he looks
for in a successful staff writer: "Being a staff writer, you have
to be able to write, you have to be able to re-write based on
notes, and you have to be able to contribute in the room… You want
to develop a way to be in the room that's comfortable for you
because the most important thing in the room is not talking; it's
listening."
He goes on to discuss the complexities of the show’s main
character, June (played by Elisabeth Moss): "I don't know if I want
people to cheer for [June]; I want them to understand her and kind
of understand her point of view… the fact is, she's gone through a
trauma that we can barely fathom… the road through trauma and back
is very, very long, very difficult, and different for
everybody."
