How is the show developed from concept through completion? You will see that since Willimon will hand-select five scenes from Season 1 to show throughout the discussion, revealing some of the most powerful moments behind this beloved, wicked drama that slithers behind the curtain of power, sex, ambition, love, greed and corruption in modern Washington DC.
