Furious star Quincy Tyler Bernstine on the importance of representation in Hulu's new crime series: 'I was so interested in the idea of a female serial killer'

Furious, a new Hulu crime series, is making waves for its female-led narrative and unique take on the genre. Created by Elizabeth Meriwether, the show centers around FBI agent Alice Black, who is tracking a calculated female serial killer named Catherine Grace. Quincy Tyler Bernstine plays Nora Washington, the head of the FBI's sex crimes unit, and shares her enthusiasm for the series.

Bernstine cites Meriwether's genius as a major draw, having just completed another Hulu series by the same creator. She was captivated by the characters and their perspectives, particularly the female serial killer Catherine Grace. Bernstine notes that it's rare to see a female serial killer as the main character, which adds to the show's intrigue. She appreciates the series' approach of presenting these characters through a sympathetic lens, allowing viewers to understand their motivations and grievances.

The show's diverse cast of characters, both good and bad, is another highlight for Bernstine. She admires how the series delves into the psychology of flawed individuals, challenging viewers and prompting introspection. Bernstine herself is rooting for Catherine Grace, finding it surprising and uncomfortable yet fascinating. She believes the show's success lies in its ability to make uncomfortable subject matter feel relatable and human.

Nora Washington, Bernstine's character, is described as a key source of humor in the series. Despite the dark and serious nature of her job, she brings levity with her witty lines. Bernstine praises the show for this balance, making it both entertaining and thought-provoking. She strongly recommends Furious to anyone looking for a unique and engaging crime series to binge-watch.
