Across the street, a UK flag hung over the staircase of a battered building, crumpled and dirty.

Behind the house was a swimming pool, beside which was a staircase that led down into what were supposedly escape tunnels, now flooded with water.

The latest show in her Netflix deal, though, portrays it as a blank collection of staircases and parlors not unlike others where all-star ensembles marry screwball comedy with murder.

"I never thought working from under my staircase, making sure my parents wouldn't find me when they thought I was in college, would be my success," he added.
