In a bold departure from traditional storytelling, the creators of the hit series School of Lies have left audiences questioning their own moral compass and grappling with uncomfortable emotions. Ishani Banerjee, co-creator of the groundbreaking show, recently offered insights into the show’s deep exploration of human nature, its ‘spiritual end,’ and the deliberate intention to challenge viewers’ comfort zones.
School of Lies captivated audiences with its raw and unflinching portrayal of a dysfunctional educational institution. The series exposed the dark underbelly of the educational system, delving into themes of corruption, power dynamics, and the moral compromises made in the pursuit of success. Banerjee, along with her team, sought to create a thought-provoking narrative that would resonate long after the final episode.
During a recent interview, Banerjee revealed that she wanted to push the boundaries of conventional storytelling and challenge viewers to confront uncomfortable truths. The show aimed to disrupt the notion of a clear-cut resolution, opting instead for a ‘spiritual end’ that left room for introspection and self-reflection.
We didn’t want to provide easy answers or tie everything up neatly with a bow, explained Banerjee. We wanted viewers to sit with their discomfort and confront the shades of gray that exist within each character and within themselves.Source:- MSNThe deliberate decision to leave viewers with an uncomfortable feeling stemmed from a desire to spark meaningful conversations and encourage a deeper examination of societal issues. Banerjee believed that by evoking a range of emotions, including discomfort, the show would prompt viewers to reevaluate their own values and question the systems they inhabit.
Banerjee’s vision was successfully executed through the meticulous storytelling and compelling performances of the cast.
