"Even before I read the script, I was a fan of series like 'Mindhunter' or 'True Detective,' and I was deeply impressed by Emily Blunt's role in 'Sicario.' I thought that maybe this is the atmosphere we want to achieve when we follow the character so closely. We almost delve into their soul, and the camera is not afraid to show their emotions," Wajda, the lead actress in the series, told us.
