16:9 TALKS. Joel Fields is a writer and executive producer who worked as showrunner on the acclaimed period drama The Americans. In this interview, Fields talks about the conceptualization and development of The Americans, and he talks about authenticity, music and the so-called “antihero genre”. We have seen many tragic heroes and antiheroes in literature, theater, film and television – from Richard III to Tony Soprano and Walter White – but Elizabeth and Philip Jennings were never conceived as antiheroes. That question and ‘the question of authenticity’ are central to this interview with Joel Fields, who also talks about growing up at a time of international conflict, tension and paranoia.
