The story of Michael Peterson, the mysterious death of his wife Kathleen Peterson, and the subsequent investigation, trial, and fallout on their family has challenged and fascinated audiences for years, starting with the 2004 true crime documentary series by Jean-Xavier de Lestrade and now with HBO Max's "The Staircase." Written by Antonio Campos and Maggie Cohn, with Campos directing six out of the eight episodes, the series has garnered critical acclaim for its performances and the exhausting detail which went into the research behind one of the most puzzled over mysteries of our time. Campos and Cohn joined us for a discussion following the show's finale to discuss their work on the series, what they really think happened to Kathleen Peterson, how the original documentary filmmakers are reacting to their portrayal in the series, and more. We hope you enjoy the conversation down below. Thank you.

"Barry" has become one of the must-watch shows on television. With each season growing in its dark intensity, one character viewers have latched onto as a fan favorite is the hilarious NoHo Hank, played brilliantly by Emmy Award-nominee Anthony Carrigan. Carrigan had the opportunity to show new sides of the beloved character this year, resulting in some of the best reviews of his career and a second nomination for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series. He was kind enough to spend a few minutes chatting with me about his work on the HBO show this year, what he was reacting to behind that prison wall in the season finale, working with Bill Hader, and more.
