Hi Chris! Huge fan of your work, and I'm really glad to see you back on TV (or whatever we're calling it now).
I always felt that Harsh Realm was never given a chance to find its audience. It strikes me that if it came out today on premium cable, it would be considered a smashing success. In a funny way, that show may have been too far ahead of its time. What lessons did you learn from that whole experience? Has it informed your approach to The After? Do you foresee it as a serialized show, or a mix of mythology and standalones a la XF?
Also: Does it tickle you that Vince Gilligan is now working on another comedic spinoff of a successful drama series? Any advice for him?
