“It’s not a surprise to me that so many of our cast, like Helen McCrory, have done so much astounding work in the theatre. And I think Richard Gere wanted to do those kinds of scenes too – he performs a two-page monologue in episode two, and he’s spellbinding, it’s a masterclass. And Billy Howle is utterly fearless.
