Members of the series’s crew, including Cinematographer Danny Cohen, Editors Zsófia Tálas and Fiona Brands, Supervising Sound Editor Joe Beal, and Re-Recording Mixers Martin Jensen & Ben Tisdall, were all kind enough to spend some time talking with us about their work and experiences making the fifth season of the series, which you can listen to below.
