Filming this intense episode was described as "unsettling" by James Marsden, who portrays Cal. Viewers witness the emotional turmoil surrounding characters as they confront an impending disaster, highlighting themes of urgency and despair. Cal ultimately reveals the harsh truth to the American public about the lack of a viable solution, emphasizing the importance of cherishing loved ones. The episode showcases incredible performances and reflects the gravity of its narrative, leaving a lasting impact.
A little unsettling... It was tough because that episode, to me, needs to work, otherwise the audience is just not in it.
And so I felt real, not pressure, but like 'OK you have to feel the weight of this' and that's so important.
Cal decides to tell the American people the truth, that there is no plan to save the day, that they can't stop the impending climate disaster.
We were really lucky to have so many tremendous actors come on, and even day players just sitting listening to me give a speech, and they're crying.
