Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Kormákur built his career on men pushed to extremes—this continues his fascination with masculine collapse under pressure, now in the spiritually bankrupt world of LA divorce law.
The project was originally developed as a TV series before Kormákur reconceived it as a propulsive single-sitting thriller, explaining the episodic tension spikes.
