Part 4/7:

One of the most compelling aspects discussed was what it was like for the cast to be in the room during these scenes. The authenticity of their reactions often heightened the humor or discomfort. The performer notes that the cringe felt genuine, which is a testament to the organic environment during filming. This honesty in reactions was essential, especially when scenes dealt with sensitive issues like disability or race.

For instance, in the scene where Michael kisses Oscar, the cast did not rehearse that moment; it was unscripted and spontaneous. The reactions from everyone—shock and covert embarrassment—are real and add depth to the scene. These raw moments underscore the show's willingness to edge into uncomfortable territory, creating a more truthful comedic environment.
