I just thought, What an interesting character,' says creator Ken Woodruff (The Mentalist).
After all, spyings no fun without intelligence.
Liar, she says.
You have no idea what people are capable of.
The assessment is too much for Will, who angrily lashes out at Erica.
That tension between the two and their respective agencies drives the series core conflict, Woodruff says.
Thats really personified with these two characters.
Below, Woodruff teases whats to come in the series.
If you have really smart criminals youre going to need to have really,reallysmart detectives go after them.
Thats the engine [of the story].
So as soon as I found that out, I was like, Thats the show.
Its, do you trust your best friend?
Do you trust your coworkers?
Do you trust the person youre sharing a bed with at night?
I thought this was really interesting.
If these people are that gifted and that talented, how do you catch them?
If theyre able to operate on this high level, how are you able to stop them?
I just wanted to know, what goes on in that room?
How would you describe the structure of the show overall?
So its one story, and each of the episodes are chapters of a bigger novel.
The serialized part of the show is the emotion; its what we really focus on.
The case is all part of a mosaic thats part of a bigger picture.
