In part this was, as always in response to events beyond our control (in this case Keisha’s availability, which forced us to do that little story arc in two episodes) but largely it was because we had a clear(-ish) path to the series end mapped out. In terms of what we did well this time round, I think the series got off to a faster start, with a clear build towards Ep,7, where Axl accepted he could be a good Odin by saving Derrick/Thor. This is what you expect, that you keep learning what works for a show and you try to do more of it – and, of course, less of the stuff that is bad. However, the general point is certainly valid and I think 3 did grow on the predecessors in many ways – performance and look as well as in the writing. JG: On one hand, thank you for that on the other hand, as someone rather fond of what we did in 1 & 2, a slight harrumph at the upping the game part of the question. What happened between last year and this year to up your game so much, and lend such heart to the series? In this Questions and Answers thread, Griffin took time to respond to many of our questions providing some fascinating insights about the series, its characters, and the creative process. Griffin, who has worked on many well known projects including the fabulous Outrageous Fortune, the delicious Sione’s Wedding (aka Samoan Wedding stateside), the recent Blue Rose, and many more projects was the primary creative lead behind the Johnsons.
