Peacock’s growing library of original series is no stranger to crime dramas (a family friend ), unusual humor (macgrubber), or potentially mystical stories located in picturesque places (The station). Sebastián Gutiérrez’s latest creation for the small screen, the infinitely seductive leopard skin, fits into the previous three categories, while also making its way through various other genres. It’s arguably star Carla Gugino’s most thrilling and thrilling project with or without Gutierrez to date, which is definitely saying something, and it draws from a surprisingly wide range of emotions and themes for a show that happily sticks to a lively medium. Now. And you better believe that Gugino is well aware of how distinct the show is.
Speaking to Gossipify to promote the show’s haunting and mysterious first season, as seen above, Carla Gugino brought up the idea that the streaming drama probably isn’t for everyone, even if it has one or more elements that most viewers have. . Here’s how it started:
It’s interesting, because I think it’s like a cinematic novel in that you don’t know where you’re going, in a way that I like. But I think the interesting thing is… It always annoys me, sort of, when people say, “It’s for everyone! You know? So what I’m about to say, I don’t say it like that. But what I find interesting is that there is the obvious element of a crime thriller, where there are these thieves who have stolen diamonds, who are on the run, who are breaking into a house where these two women are in a very secluded and deserted beach in mexico living together in this house. And then there’s some unwanted dinner guests show up, and the power goes out, and there’s a cleaning lady who we’ll find out has quite a history with the character’s ex-husband/new husband, Gaite Jansen who is now deceased. . There are many things happening.
Fans of Gugino and Gutierrez are no doubt aware that they have collaborated creatively in the past on stellar television crime drama jets and slippery elements such as girl enters a bar Yes Electra Luxx. But leopard skin is on another level or seven when it comes to the story and the twisted and twisted way the story unfolds, although it also features some of the actress’ previous film partners, such as jetsby Gaite Jansen and Gentry White as well The haunting of Bly ManorIt’s Amelia Eve. Not to mention sentinelsI’m Jeffrey Dean Morgan.
Similar to how the various titles listed above are across a range of genres, leopard skin wear this idea like a… skin. (Note that the show has better lines.) Carla Gugino, continued up to this point, saying:
It’s a bit like a story within a story within a story. And because of that, I like that the stakes are high, and there’s all these suspenseful elements, but really there’s a hidden, offbeat, provocative love story in the background. And this fascinates me. I’ve always liked the idea of blending genres and being able to say, “Why should we say it’s this or that?” And if you have someone who has the same complexity as a writer like Sebastian, [it works]. Comes from South America; there are some magical realism elements in there. The fact that the place where we were shooting was so dreamlike, and the timeline just goes and goes and goes and goes. So to a large extent it’s also kind of like… you begin to understand where we are. And in a weird way, by the end of the show, you figure out the identity of the show, like people are starting to figure out their identity.
