The way we use shots, and which characters are featured when, and how emotional beats play pace-wise\u2026 and to cut together what we put on a script into 22 minutes of network television is a real challenge, and I\u2019m excited to have an opportunity to give the Joes something that I hope they love,\u201d he says in admiration of showrunners Joe Port and Joe Wiseman.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cIt is an added pressure, which I\u2019m looking forward to, and it\u2019s something I\u2019ve sort of been interested in for a couple of seasons now,\u201d Ambudkar reveals.
