City of Angels makes the jump from Victorian London to tell a Mexican-American story. You're a white showrunner telling a Mexican-American story. What's the composition of your writers' room?

I'm an Angeleno. And I wanted to write a story about L.A. I'm proud of having created the Vega family, and I'm honored to get to tell their story. But I firmly believe writers need to be allowed to dream, to imagine and to speak in voices other than their own or I fear we will live in a very anemic and cannibalistic dramatic landscape. Having said that, I did everything I possibly could to bring the Latinx, Chicano and Hispanic voices into the story. Two of our writers, Tatiana Suarez-Pico (Iron Fist, The L Word: Generation Q) and Jose Rivera (Eerie, Indiana, On the Road) come from that tradition. My executive producing partner, Michael Aguilar, the designers, the majority of the cast ... I was very open to saying, tell me what's inauthentic. I could tell you what's authentic for Belfast Irish. Jose Rivera, who's an incredible playwright, did a pass to all 10 scripts. The actors were also very engaged. The last thing I want to presume to present myself as is an authority on Chicano culture.
