As an obsessed fan, I’m totally hooked on this show that takes us back to 1960s Baltimore where two extraordinary women’s lives collide.

In an interview with US Weekly, Gelman shared how he developed a strong connection with his costar and was amazed by her talents. He expressed, “She took the initiative in that aspect,” adding, “She can tap into intense and disordered emotions” during filming, but releases them once the cameras are turned off.

The actor added that he and Portman had a compatible work attitude, making their collaboration effective. Their methods meshed perfectly, resulting in an enriching and pleasurable experience for both.
