Spoilers ahead forYouseason two.
I was so scared, but also entranced, because its funny and tragic and disgusting at times.
It was a combination of things Im not accustomed to experiencing when watching television, really.
After that, I was really excited to be able to contribute in any way.
When I heard about this character, I thought she sounded pretty dope and certainly very different fromBeck.
In the case of Love, there really is.
She is protecting Joe.
She shows up for him in that moment.
Obviously, its a crazy thing to happen.
Were constantly hearing Joes thoughts and seeing Love and others through his gaze.
]Thats whats so scary about the show.
Shes obsessive about baking.
Shes an intense individual.
Shes not meek.But we can see what we want to see.
A lot of qualities he sees are there.
Its incredible how he can shape the way we see the individual.
Shes just doing whatever her friends want.
I dont pay any mind to shaping my performance on his perspective.
I think hes a delusional individual, and his perspective is incredibly warped and very far away from reality.
I cant trust him to do my work for me.
In the first season, some viewers were critical ofBeckbecause they felt she should have been more careful.
But were not judgmental of Love in that way.
Whats the difference?One of them is blonde and one of them is a brunette I was joking.
I feel like the conversations are like, Oh my God, there are all these boring white girls.
They have different hair colors, so theyre different.
And then some people are like, No, their differences are far beyond the way they look.
Even Candace can be brought into this conversation, because people see her getting in the way of Joe.
Shes taken it upon herself to fight, to confirm this doesnt happen to anybody else, you know?
And yet we see her as annoying.
Beck is just a young woman trying to figure her shit out.
She makes it relatively clear what her expectations are, and yet we criticize her for being self-conscious.
I thought that was an extremely logical thing to do.
Is it what she wanted to do?
No.We lose a bit of our grip on reality and logic when we are in love.
Bastard!She becomes this obligation, and its really sad.
But its true to the character.It was the only way it could happen.
She has a really strong vision for her future, and I hope she keeps pursuing it.
Do I think that thats necessarily a smart decision?
She probably shouldnt be with a guy she knows is a murderer, but you cant stop Love.
Shes gonna do what she wants.
