Hulu's "UnPrisoned" looks at the challenges of a therapist played by Kerry Washington whose father was just released from jail.A new series on Hulu called "UnPrisoned" looks at the challenges of a therapist who must re-establish a bond with her father after he spent almost two decades behind bars.During the years of "Scandal," Washington always seemed so sure of herself and so confident, but her newest character Paige - not so much.
Paige is a marriage and family therapist whose world is disrupted when her father, played by Delroy Lindo, gets released from prison after many years behind bars. "I'm hoping that it causes people to look at these people, look at these kinds of situations differently," Lindo said."It's amazing to me that there are 80 million Americans living with a criminal record, and we're not telling the story of what it's like to come out and how it impacts families," Washington said."I wouldn't want somebody who hadn't lived this story to tell this story," creator Tracy McMillan said.
McMillan's real father never lived with her as the character Edwin does in the show that she created. However, she said, "the essence, the feelings involved are exactly what happened.""And, really our job was to be as honest as possible," Washington said. "That's right because the reality is life is funny."
They nailed it and that is tricky given what is essentially a very serious premise. The key was hiring top talent to perform honest scripts rooted in real life.Copyright © 2023 OnTheRedCarpet.com. All Rights Reserved.
