Topics
Mary Louise Kelly: 本访谈围绕Apple TV+剧集《不良姐妹》第二季展开，该剧延续第一季的黑色幽默风格，讲述了四个爱尔兰姐妹在经历第一季的谋杀事件后，继续面对生活中的挑战和彼此关系的变化。访谈中，主持人Mary Louise Kelly与该剧的创作者兼主演Sharon Horgan探讨了第二季的剧情走向、角色发展以及创作理念。 Sharon Horgan: 第二季的故事将围绕Grace展开，讲述她丈夫去世两年后的生活。虽然姐妹们努力生活，但第一季事件的影响依然存在。Grace找到了新的爱情，但幸福并不长久，各种事件的发生将再次考验姐妹们的关系和彼此间的信任。本季还引入了一个新角色Angelica，她对Garvey姐妹的自由和独立感到不满，并试图破坏她们的生活。此外，本季还探讨了更年期女性的主题，以及姐妹之间信任的可能性，以及由此产生的秘密。 Sharon Horgan: 在创作过程中，我并没有刻意迎合特定观众的喜好，而是专注于创作有趣的故事和塑造鲜明的人物形象。虽然第二季的剧情比较黑暗，但同时也充满了幽默的元素，例如Eva介绍她的更年期教练。我希望能创作出既出人意料又真实的故事，让观众在观看过程中感受到情感上的共鸣。同时，我也希望这部剧能够引起女性观众的共鸣，特别是那些经历过糟糕关系的女性。
