Q&A with Timothy Hutton
PAGE 2
RB: Were you surprised by the following the show earned in the first season, or did you suspect off the bat that the show would take off?
TH: Well, you really never know. There are plenty of examples of really well-executed shows you could look at and say, "Well, clearly this show will have an audience, why wouldn't it?" And for whatever reason, it just doesn't catch on. So you never know going in. It's always a surprise, and in this case, a good surprise because it did catch on and people really got behind it and seem to really be looking forward to the second season.
