RYAN CORR: Look, it was a drama comedy. I haven't seen-- I haven't seen a show try to tackle issues like this in quite the same way. My reaction to the script straight up was I shed a tear and I laughed. And I really like the pace at which it moved, like, you know, it was real page turner. And I want to see what happened in the next episode straight away. And usually, that's a pretty telling sign.

And given that we were dealing with themes like this, which were obviously very important to my life. And, you know, mental health affected me directly and indirectly. And I've lost friends and loved ones. And seeing the way that they dealt with great care and respect for those ideas as well as make it more palatable, and we can accept those heavier themes, because, you know, because we laugh, and there's lightness. And I think what's wonderful, it's really important when talking about this show not to get bogged down, because it's not. It's full of hope. And it's-- and it's-- and it's about community and coming together.

And, yeah, I hope that-- I hope that there's been a balance sort of struck, so that we can absorb some of the more heavy messages there. But in life, there's dark and there's light and shade, you know, and often in the mundane things, and often after something that's been really, really difficult. And I think so-- I think "Limbo" is, you know, much more about life than it is about death, and about community and moving forward.
