The very last thing that happened in the first season was Carrie spontaneously kissing Franklin. Well, I think the second season is always a response to the first. I talked to Sara immediately when we knew we were coming back - like, “Sara, I think we have to see who’s underneath there.” And it’s interesting to show Che going against their own instincts in order to be successful, which is what’s happening with that sitcom, “Che Pasa.” Let’s start with the fact that Che is a standup comic - that’s already fucked up! If you get on stage going, “Fucking look at me!” that’s already off-putting to most human beings, including other standups. because I had Sara Ramírez, who is this phenomenal actor, I knew we could show what’s behind the scaffold. So, I thought we would start by opening the book and showing what’s underneath the cover. So, the comedy memes and everything - that’s just almost complimentary, I mean, the fact that if you’re making a dent at all! But the reality is, I felt that a lot of the judgment - maybe even about the show last season - was judging a book by the cover, and maybe the cover looked different than you were expecting a “Sex and the City” new chapter to look. I kept feeling the judgment of Che in a profound way, because I really like the character. When I talked to you for Variety’s Sara Ramírez Pride cover story last year, you said you wanted to show the “dimension of Che,” and you wanted “more of Che rather than less of Che.” We do certainly see a lot of Che this season. We’re returning Carrie to ‘And Just Like That.’ Not Carrie who was hit by a huge cataclysmic event - a meteor - and held herself together.” I wanted her to be present, fun, light, and open to life.” “A lot of people have said to me, “Oh, it feels like the old show,’” he said.
