We do.

It becomes a buddy movie, but it\u2019s complicated and it retains its complexity in a very truthful way. But, yes, we love the comparison.\u201d<\/p> <p>Moss and Marwan are joined by a wealth of actors, including Dali Benssalah and Josh Charles, in the high-octane thriller, which will undoubtedly leave viewers at the edge of their seats each episode.<\/p>\n<p>Executive producer Denise Di Novi echoed a similar sentiment, noting that she understands where the comparison comes from.<\/p>\n<p>She said: \u201cThelma &amp; Louise is one of the greatest films ever made. I think it\u2019s because it\u2019s so rare to have two female characters have those kind of conversations.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think that\u2019s where the comparison comes from, and I think it\u2019s great because we\u2019re not only that, we\u2019re all this other stuff as well.
