Brennan told The New York Times that she hoped the show would offer a modicum of civility in a volatile political climate.

“Sometimes it’s overwhelming for viewers, because there is such an unrelenting news cycle right now,” Ms. Brennan said. “This is a place where we need to have some perspective, have a civil conversation and take a step back.”
