Speaking at a Q&A for the show, Victoria opened up about character, who is the widow of a crooked accountant who is murdered: "At all times, whoever she's in the room with, she’s lying to at least all of them," she began.
"And that was really fun. So in order to try and do that, I thought if my mouth says one thing and my eyes say something else and then my body says something else."

The actress continued: "What I was trying to do was to play the three levels differently, because you have to switch. And they're completely different stories that I'm telling them in the same line, the same paragraph. So it was really, really exciting."
The synopsis for series two gives a bit more insight into what fans can expect from Olivia and the new episodes in general.
