The work required of him and his co-star, Jessica Chastain, was so unsparingly intimate - "And difficult!" Chastain added from a neighboring Zoom window - that every time a camera operator or a makeup artist appeared, it felt like an intrusion. After Isaac met with Levi, he wrote to Chastain to tell her about the project.

The actors rehearsed, with Levi and on their own, talking their way through each long scene, helping each other through the anguished parts.

"I knew I was in trouble the very first week," Chastain said. Though Chastain isn't Mira and Isaac isn't Jonathan, each drew on personal experience - their parents' marriages, past relationships - in ways they never had. Sometimes work on the show felt like acting, and sometimes the work wasn't even conscious. Chastain riffed on the joke: "That was our third year at Juilliard, the throb."

By then, it had been five months since the shoot wrapped.
