David E. Kelleyreturns to internet television with this newABCshow based on a series of C.J.
“Let’s cut the wounded heart crap,” he tells her.
Their receptionist Denise (Dedee Pfeiffer) warns him that he should have seen this “trainwreck” coming.
Phillippe tells EW the shows unraveling mystery box approach applies equally to its complex characters and cryptic crimes.
Montana is very much a character in the show, Phillippe reflects.
The notion of Big Sky and wide-open spaces means that anything can be lurking behind any corner.
People have this notion of it being bucolic and idyllic.
Parts of Montana definitely are.
But the characters on this show are investigating the darker parts of Montana.
There’s a lot of undiscovered territories.
“There’s a pacing.
The show has tons of humor.
It moves really quickly.
It’s got a lot of surprises.”
“It’s not procedural,” notes Phillippe. "
[It’s] a really diverse, eclectic group of characters.
And then you marry the mystery with some dark humor."
