From Hulu's hit show, Tell Me Lies, Jackson White returned to the podcast to discuss all things Stephen. Whether we love him or love to hate him -- Stephen is arguably one of the most talked about characters from any television show in the past year. Jackson gave us insight into what he was thinking, why he thinks Stephen uses the art of persuasion, and if he thinks Stephen is genuinely in love with Lucy. We also discuss "that" slow-motion scene with Diana -- along with an analysis of those last few seconds before the credits roll. Jackson is so good at playing Stephen that there are times when I even interchanged their names! 

Jackson is a master at his craft, and it truly shines in this show. There has never been an actor that can play someone so ambiguous that no one (not even Jackson) knows what he will do next. Jackson has mastered the art form so well that even the best predictors of shows are still shaken by the finale; Jackson White is one of a kind and has accomplished something no actor has done before offering up no clues or even hints at his character's next move. The ability to play this while creating a fully dimensional character is a skill few actors possess. We hope Hulu renews the show for a season two to find out what happened since we left this crew (both in college and now). However, one thing we both agree on... there is a lot more story to tell between Lucy and Stephen.
