So long as a story has heart and humor, there’s a chance of finding something to enjoy in the telling of it. But Regency satire of manners isn’t the only genre she loves, as a love of comic books naturally developed into a love of cinematic universes and their superheroes. She has been passionate about all manner of storytelling since being exposed to Jane Austen and BBC adaptations of her work all at once. As a graduate of Columbia University in New York City, Tatiana studied theater and comparative literature.
In the interviews she conducts for Screen Rant, she seeks to learn what drives each creative mind and how different experiences influence the same narrative.

Why is she so angry? And why is she so gloriously negative? Why does she turn apathy into a waving flag, like it's her pennant? And can she move on from there? Can she have a mission? We did, and she does, and it's marvelous. This time, she's accepting it, but it's also not necessarily going to take her where she thought it was gonna take her. She was offered a trip into the afterlife in season one, and she turned it down. We get to follow Laura Moon into the afterlife of Laura Moon this time. And this time, kill her and let her grow. One of the things that we wanted to do with her in season three was kill her, and kill her again, right at the beginning. Laura, when we first met her at the beginning of season one was already dead, and she returned from the dead. I'm not sure that you could give Emily Browning anything that she wouldn't just elevate. Neil Gaiman: First of all, let me just say that Emily Browning is an astonishing actor. Can you talk about the expansion of her character, and where she is at the start of this season? We started off with her thinking, "Shadow is my life now that I'm back," yet she gets further and further away from that as she's finding her own destiny and coming into her own. Speaking of complications, one fascinating and complicated character on the show is Laura Moon. The deeper you go into the things that look lovely and simple, the more secrets and the more lies and the more complications you will find. Because having lived in small town America for the best part of the last 30 years, the only thing that I have learned is that nothing is what it seems on the surface. That small town America can be welcoming and dangerous in every way that small town America can be dangerous and filled with secrets. It really feels like small town America, and it feels welcoming in every way. What I love is feeling like the show delivers. And I've been so looking forward to that. And he's also being somebody else, a man called Mike Ainsel. He's actually hiding out as somebody else, he's broken his probation he's in big trouble. He's gone through so much in season one and season two he's been honed by fire, and he is on the run. And the plotline that I've been looking forward to the most was bringing Shadow to Lakeside, and watching what happens when you bring this marvelous character as portrayed by Ricky Whittle. For the last four or five years since we've been making American Gods, the season I've been looking forward to the most was this season. Can you talk a little bit about that balance of the idyllic and the fact that this is America? Yet at the same time, visually, we can see that striking contrast of a black man coming into an all-white American town. My first question for you is about Lakeside, because it is this idyllic village where everyone's very welcoming, and Shadow's finding a new home.
