Showrunner Alex Metcalf explains how the fall of the Fox News CEO and the rise of the #MeToo moment can be tracked to Carlson's bravery.
"He has no idea what's coming for him" are the final words ofepisode six, "2015," as former Fox News host Gretchen Carlson hits send on the announcement that she's suing Roger Ailes for sexual harassment. There's still one more episode to go in the Showtime limited series, but those with any knowledge of the events surrounding Ailes and Fox News at that time know that it's the beginning of the end for him .
Metcalf doesn't believe the episode contains too much in the way of fictionalizing what actually happened when Carlson made the decision to sue Ailes for sexual harassment. "I feel what we did is a lot of condensation," he says. "Things were complicated and deep in the weeds — Gretchen originally went to one lawyer, that lawyer said she had no case, but maybe she should talk to [lawyer] Nancy Erika Smith. And so that's how she found her.
Metcalf credited writer Laura Eason, who scripted the episode, for identifying just what made those scenes between Gretchen and Casey so real and affecting. "It's a very specific female response that I don't think men necessarily understand, this idea of like, 'Oh, it wasn't that bad — can't we just, you know, push it under the rug a little bit and move forward with our lives?'" he says.
