Marcia Clark Reveals Whether New Legal Drama 'The Fix' Is Really A 'Revenge Fantasy'
Clark remarks, “It’s more a question of justice. “[The series is] not my revenge fantasy, it’s Maya’s. She really believes he’s guilty of at least the previous murders. So, yes, it’s a revenge fantasy, but it’s not mine. I don’t fantasize that way. Ever. At All.” Clark does admit that she is using her life experience to inform the narrative. “All writers used their life experience to create characters and give them storylines. I don’t think you can have a good drama if there isn’t an authentic thread. I think audiences feel it when there isn’t.” She added, “This [series] is also about being a woman in what was perceived to be a man’s world. There’s an episode that [specifically] addresses that when Maya gets a nasty tabloid story written about her but her trial partner, who’s a man, doesn’t have to deal with that. It’s a universal issue for women.”
