Yeah, absolutely. I mean, my mind was blow when I found out Love killed Candace.

Ambyr [Childers, who plays Candace] is so great. Her character is so incredible. Her performance is so great in the show, as one of the only sane people who’s really fighting for some form of justice. [Love] doesn’t really always understand her methods, but she’s trying to protect people from this person who wronged her when she doesn’t really need to. She could just stay in Italy and be safe. But I think we know that when something bad happens and we’re scared it could affect other people, there’s this courage that can come out of it.

I thought it was a badass feminist move for Candace to advocate for getting people to stay away from Joe.

I’m definitely a woman who believes in sisterhood and the important place that women supporting other women plays in the whole movement towards equality. It’s incredible how in making up around 50% of the population, we are an oppressed majority. That has only been possible by us working against each other. That’s because of the structures that be and whatnot. [But we’re] reminding [people] that Joe is benefiting not only from the way in which we are programmed, but also by other people who protect him.

What do you hope viewers take away from the second season?

I think it’s a mix of things. I think it’s important to focus on how our instincts can’t always show us everything, that it’s important to be careful about the interactions we have and the people we interact with. And at the same time, there’s so much beauty in taking risks and having trust. I hope we don’t walk around just scared of each other because of this show. I think there’s different things for everyone. Everyone’s going to relate to it differently and take something else away from it. I hate to tell people what to think.

Would you be down for a third season?

Yeah!

Do you have any dreams for how it would go, or are you open to anything?

No. I think I learned pretty early on that I can’t predict shit with this show, so I’m ready to be blown away.

You season 2 is now streaming on Netflix.
