What people are saying
It’s filming here in New York where I live, so I’m thrilled about that.
It’s very funny. I think it’s really good.
We’re in great hands because Adele is showrunning and writing and she did the original [film], and she’s just so smart and good and talented that I feel just great with her at the helm
