In our fantasy, it would have an actress like Glenn. Ramras: A couple of the books that I read ended with a chapter of the author’s next book, and so we thought it would be funny and a nod to these books, and evocative of these books, to have a final dangling chapter as to what could be next in this world’s adventure. What are your thoughts on where this could still go? You’ve said the show was only intended as a limited series, but it’s now had such a moment, and you also wrote the finale the way you did, between introducing Glenn and then ending on a cliffhanger. Whether it’s not funny enough at the beginning, and then it’s too absurd for some at the end, it’s like the whole thing feels a little inappropriate, and that’s something we like. It’s inappropriate to have the type of jokes that are in this - the daughter is murdered, and we’re supposed to laugh at that. The three of us love things that are inappropriate on some level. I bet that could make some people feel like a joke is being played on them. So some of these, they could be like, “Pick a lane - be funny or be serious.” And the truth is, we did pick a lane - it just might be one that’s uncomfortable because it gradually gets more absurd. And it might not be for everyone, and that’s OK, too.ĭavidson: I think the people that enjoy knowing what something is far outnumber the ones that enjoy ambiguity. I just find it enjoyable that it makes people talk about it. It seems like the people that know it’s a comedy are mad at the people that don’t know it’s a comedy and haven’t figured it out. Is it a thriller? But the thriller’s weird because there’s the daughter that gets murdered in the most horrific way.” Then there’s the other people that are like, “No, it’s a comedy.” And I like that. There’s something delightful about it that some people are very confused over: “What is this? It’s not the type of comedy that I’ve seen before, where there’s a bunch of jokes - not that.
What’s been your take on the response?ĭorf: I like that there’s this divide. The show has clearly found an audience, but perhaps some of the reviews have suggested not everyone quite knew what they were getting. That was a great way to go for this where, instead of being so joke-driven, it starts out very grounded, and then it just gets more and more absurd. Our background is more comedic - we’re all from The Groundlings - and so that was new for us in our writing style. Because they wanted people to get invested in the mystery and also have these cliffhangers at the end of every episode. Larry Dorf: Netflix really pushed us to not be so joke-driven, at least at first.

Many TV projects in the streaming era seem to involve some kind of mystery element to get viewers to keep bingeing. But it does feel like a more grounded approach would get you to the ending in a more satisfying way, both comedically and as a storyteller, than if it had been joke-ity, joke-ity, joke-ity, all the time. We didn’t want things to be so straight - you didn’t know that it was supposed to be funny. There are a lot of people that didn’t get the joke for A Deadly Adoption, I’m sure. Hugh Davidson: I do think when we pitched Gloria Sanchez, A Deadly Adoption probably informed for them why saying things very straight could be successful or could appeal to some people. Was his involvement part of what helped establish the tone for your project? This show reminded me of Will Ferrell’s 2015 Lifetime movie, A Deadly Adoption, where he took it seriously but heightened everything just a bit. 1 slot on Netflix’s top 10 since premiering late last month and launching plenty of memes in the process - even if critics, who gave the project a 56 percent approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes, haven’t exactly known what to make of it.ĭuring a conversation with The Hollywood Reporter, the three co-creators reveal the notes they received from Ferrell and Netflix the reason that a pivotal final scene needed to change the panic they experienced in trying to fill Close’s part, which led them to initially consider an even more unbelievable public figure for that cameo their take on the critical response and whether the cliffhanger ending hints at more episodes in the future. Indeed, the show has gotten people talking, spending significant time in the No.
“If it was very joke-driven right from the start, people probably wouldn’t have cared as much about the story and what was happening, and maybe people wouldn’t have stuck with it,” Dorf explains.
