I believe they’re married.

The Turn of the Screw was written prior to The Haunting of Hill House.

I second your second sentence. I was skipping past a lot of that stuff.

That synopsis sounds like it’s for the first season rather than the second.

“Went away”? Netflix won the bidding war. D&D signed with them. They can’t make a deal with somebody else unless that somebody else pays Netflix enough to let them out of their contract. There wouldn’t be another bidding war until they reach the end of that contract.

Someone just posted a John Hughes ending for the last episode with just that sort of thing. I’d link to it below, but we can’t link to comments anymore!

Was Dane Cook considered edgy?

I’m sure a lesbian actor would want to have a leg up in obtaining such a role, but from the point of view of casting a role do you even need to know an actor’s sexuality?

Dried up? There was a huge bidding war for them:

Per Matthew Yglesias, it’s ok to cast Jews & Italians as each other because both are shouty cultures.

There’s an even simpler reason to cast non-Jewish actors: Jews are a couple percent of the population, so there are just going to be a lot more gentiles to choose from.
