“Full Circle” comes to tell a story about how there’s a domino effect in everything you do. The actions you take effect not only you, but affect other people. With renowned actors like Timothy Olyphant and Claire Danes, to name a few, and some new faces, it has an excellent mix for the show. Steven Soderbergh directed the show, Zazie Beats, who plays Mel Harmony, said that she took the role of Mel because Soderbergh was directing it. “He works so quickly. He directs and operates as well, so he’s very much a part of the scene. That’s pretty unusual because most of the time directors are sitting at a monitor or in a different room, but he’s right there,” Olyphant, who plays Derek Browne, says about Soderbergh’s different way of directing. The series takes place in New York City, where everything seems possible. Actor Jharell Jerome, who plays Aked, goes into detail on how Soderbergh went to great lengths to make this series as authentic as possible in New York and also showcasing the Guyanese culture. “They definitely involved a lot of Guyanese consultants and actors. Instead of just talking about Guyana, they actually went and shot in Guayana, and so just bringing that authenticity to it helps,” Jerome said about giving an authentic Guaynese portrayal. When a kidnapping goes wrong, a powerful Guyanese family, a celebrity chef, and a disobedient detective all become tangled in a web of lies and secrets in this series.
