So they sort of threw caution to the wind and aided us along the way. It was kind of liberating to be able to work on a project that creatively exciting.&#8221;<\/p>\n<style><!--\n@font-face {   font-family: \"Times New Roman\"; }p.MsoNormal, li.MsoNormal, div.MsoNormal { margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: \"Times New Roman\"; }table.MsoNormalTable { font-size: 10pt; font-family: \"Times New Roman\"; }div.Section1 { page: Section1; }\n--><\/style>\n<p>&#8220;This is the way that television is going to be made and consumed,&#8221; adds Douglas. &#8220;And the opportunity to be on the ground floor \u2026run don\u2019t walk.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I had to be a part of it because Netflix, this is going to be the norm. It\u2019s coming, very soon it\u2019s going to be the norm. And they\u2019re at the forefront of it, and getting to be a part of it is a real treat. I\u2019m very pleased. And hopefully we\u2019ll be talking about this show in ten years the same way we\u2019re talking about <em>Battlestar<\/em>, how it changed the way people are going to do and view horror, and mixed genre.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;One of my favourite lines in the whole series actually, is when Landon starts to turn and Bill says &#8216;Oh I forgot my frisbee!'&#8221; laughs writer\/producer Mark Verheiden. &#8220;That just epitomises the tone of this thing. As opposed to freaking out because this guy is shedding his skin and turning into a wolf in front of his eyes, that\u2019s the show!<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;For better or worse, that\u2019s what we were trying to do.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Hemlock Grove<\/em> is available on Netflix now.
