1
00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:03,680
Speaker 1: Direct from Hollywood with Ryan Seacrest.

2
00:00:03,320 --> 00:00:06,000
Speaker 2: Shaw, runner and creative. They hit the show. Fleischman is

3
00:00:06,040 --> 00:00:08,920
Speaker 2: in trouble. Taffy Rodessa Achner. She was a staff writer

4
00:00:08,960 --> 00:00:11,360
Speaker 2: for the New York Times magazine Interviewing Stars before writing

5
00:00:11,360 --> 00:00:13,239
Speaker 2: her first novel, the best selling book the show is

6
00:00:13,240 --> 00:00:15,360
Speaker 2: based on. But the show just so happened to premiere

7
00:00:15,440 --> 00:00:18,040
Speaker 2: right when Elon Musk took over Twitter, which meant the

8
00:00:18,079 --> 00:00:20,639
Speaker 2: primary platform people would go to to discuss the show

9
00:00:20,800 --> 00:00:23,040
Speaker 2: was in upheavals, so Taffy couldn't really get a sense

10
00:00:23,079 --> 00:00:25,439
Speaker 2: if anybody was actually watching it. But she recalled a

11
00:00:25,520 --> 00:00:28,160
Speaker 2: realization she'd made during the former job that gave her

12
00:00:28,200 --> 00:00:30,200
Speaker 2: a little piece of mind. She tells Indy Wire, I

13
00:00:30,240 --> 00:00:32,839
Speaker 2: know this is a cultural journalist from interviewing Gwyneth Paltrow.

14
00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:35,839
Speaker 2: Gwyneth Paltrow has no idea what she is in the culture.

15
00:00:35,880 --> 00:00:38,800
Speaker 2: She doesn't understand it, and the minute you enter the culture,

16
00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:41,120
Speaker 2: you're no longer capable of assessing it. And I became

17
00:00:41,159 --> 00:00:43,840
Speaker 2: comfortable with that and saying, is this a hit show?

18
00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:46,839
Speaker 2: I don't know? Soon after it stars Jesse Eisenberg and

19
00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:48,839
Speaker 2: Claire Danes told her people were stopping them in the

20
00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:50,960
Speaker 2: street to praise the show, which hadn't happened to either

21
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:53,400
Speaker 2: of them in a while, and once the award nominations

22
00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:56,040
Speaker 2: began to roll in, she knew for sure it was

23
00:00:56,080 --> 00:00:57,720
Speaker 2: a hit. Fleischman is in Troubles on

24
00:00:57,760 --> 00:01:00,640
Speaker 1: Hulu that's direct from Hollywood and
