'I might have come to the end of it.' ThePolitician might Jessica Lange's last TV role
tells the story of a wildly ambitious teenager with designs on becoming president one day. But within that narrative is also a take on pop culture's recent Munchausen by proxy obsession, with Jessica Lange as Dusty, a grandmother grifter who pretends her granddaughter Infinity is ill to scam free meals and trips to amusement parks.
That's fodder for drama, of course — Patricia Arquette just won an Emmy for her portrayal of a mother with Munchausen by proxy syndrome in Hulu's"One of the things that interested me right away was this idea of doing a black comedy. I haven't done that many comedies over the many years I've been doing this, and I really wanted do a character who's as dark this is but set in this world," she said.
The show as a whole, however, is "talking about real stories, real issues, including gun control, voter fraud, complicated relationships between grandmothers and granddaughters," said Deutch, "but they are fictional characters in this fictional universe. And that's important to reiterate.", both Lange and Deutch told THR that the series did not factor in their performances.
"It felt very much the same as how we always work. I mean, I think the presentation of it is going to be so much better," she said, "because from what I understand, it's all available at one time, so it's not interrupted by a full week of waiting, nor is it interrupted by commercial breaks, which to me makes a huge difference.
