When it came time to start thinking about how we would approach it, we made a very concrete decision in the writers’ room that we wouldn’t start with plot and that we would try to plot the show as much out of characters’ choices as possible. We really spent time on one character and then the next, and going through everything from the book we wanted to keep. We also did a lot of research on the characters: What else did we want to use to build out their arc? So, after the end of all those weeks, we didn’t have a plot in front of us. We had character studies. We went in and took beats from each one and synthesized them into episodes. I don’t know how often that’s the method for building out a season of television, but it was incredibly rewarding in this case.
