This new series, from Russian Doll creator Leslye Headland, asks the question: what if there's more to that nobility than we've come to understand?
In a spoiler-filled interview, recorded days after the show's finale, Leslye breaks down its major surprises, key scenes and crucial characters – explaining how Fight Club, Frozen and Kill Bill played a significant part in its conception...
