Around ten years ago, Mark and Jay Duplass had an idea: make an anthology TV show set inside a single room, with every episode veering into a new genre. But as Mark Duplass explained, they weren?t popular enough at that point to pull it off. ?Our agents were like, ?You can?t make this show. This is an anthology show. People don?t really watch anthology shows that much. Nobody?s going to buy this,'? so they shelved the idea for nearly a decade.
