I think hopefully they’re along for the ride with the larger Vietnam story that we’ve done this season, and I think that if you’re going to embark on telling a war story throughout a season you have to not be afraid to let things get dark sometimes or you wouldn’t be telling a truthful version of the story.
So, yes, this got very dark, but we hope people will stick with us because there’s a lot of light still to come.
But we’ve tried to make it feel in the world of our show, and we tried to give the audience that glimmer of hope in terms of seeing a son not make the mistakes that his father made, and make a new choice, and hopefully move his family toward healing and in this new direction as we move forward.
