Deep Dive

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Cultural

Bancroft joined a wave of 'difficult women' crime leads post-Fargo TV, but with distinctly British class anxiety—she's terrifying because she's posh and protected.

Trivia

The show was canceled after two seasons despite decent ratings, reportedly because Sarah Parish refused to return—she found the role emotionally draining. Method acting consequences.
