“Even though we were eating fake, like, rice paper, the image was so vivid.

Jasmin Savoy Brown adds, “It was rice paper for the skin and then the inside was jackfruit.
The consistency felt like flesh.
A couple people threw up.
And if you think that’s bad, it’s only episode 2.”
“That’s not what we’re doing.
But when it’s objectively necessary to show the harrowing experiences they’re having, we’ll go there.
But obviously we didn’t want to do an entire sequence of them just devouring Jackie’s corpse.
