Homeland - Interview with Executive Produver Alex Gansa

If there’s one thing that haunts all new TV thrillers with a central mystery at the core of its drama, it’s the effect The Killing had on an audience’s trust. The AMC show and its creator, Veena Sud, angered many of its fans when it didn’t answer its own question: Who killed Rosie Larsen? Homeland co-creator and EP Alex Gansa addressed the controversy in relation to the new Showtime series.

“I don’t want to cast stones at The Killing, because I thought The Killing was unbelievable, and incredibly evocative,” Gansa tells The Hollywood Reporter. “And I know how hard it is to do these things. You have to understand that The Killing also was at kind of a disadvantage in so far as a murder had already been committed.”

“And so the detectives were out trying to solve that murder,” he continues. “But there wasn’t really the sense that something else was a threat, that something else was about to happen. They were trying to piece together what happened in the past. And that’s very different from the situation that we have.”
