Some of the stories and the people that I’ve spoken to leave me speechless, and so proud that we have made this show that we are able to talk about this with people. How has this whole experience been for you?ĮB: Twitter is such a direct way of speaking to people, especially when they are watching the show at the same time as you and writing to you at the same time as watching some of the more pivotal scenes. TTVJ: Fans have had such positive reactions to the show since it’s premiered. I’m excited for everyone to see where she came from. I think especially this half of the season, from Episode 6 onward the audience gets to delve into Jules’ backstory.
Then we all obviously did a lot of research about survivors of sexual assault and watched a lot of documentaries and read a lot of books, most of all we spoke to a lot of survivors and that was definitely a huge part of the journey–to know where Jules came from and her upbringing and everything, and having a peak into Jenn’s imagination. I mean, Jenn probably has the plots and backstories for the next six seasons in her head somewhere, so she was definitely my source of all knowledge. The “how” then built up as the show got picked up for a season. I fell in love with it instantly, but it was difficult to know exactly what Jules’ background was and that was something that was definitely in Jenn’s head.

The TV Junkies: What was your initial reaction to Jules when you first read for her? Did you know a lot about her background? Did you and Jenn develop a lot of who she is as a person as the season progressed?Įliza Bennett: When I first read the script I literally just got the pilot, which when we first made it was a half hour show. The TV Junkies spoke with the immensely talented Bennett about her fierce and resilient character, Jules, Tyler and Jules’ future, and the enormous impact Sweet/ Vicious is making in such a short amount of time. She adds a depth to Jules that meshes perfectly with Dearden’s compassionate and sardonic Ophelia, leaving us unable to get enough. Make no mistake, Jules is not broken, she is rising up from what happened to her and Bennett ravenously displays proof of that. It beautifully displays healthy female friendships and how truly strong and brazen women can be. In such a short amount of time Sweet/ Vicious has made an impact that many long airing shows fail to achieve. She let him know exactly what happened that night and how it has made her feel everyday since. Last week Jules delivered a gut wrenching monologue as she confronted her attacker, Nate (Dylan McTee) and left viewers awestruck as she stood her ground. Together the duo seeks vengeance against perpetrators of sexual assault on their campus.īennett has been a force on the show since its premiere in November and has continued to grow as the season progresses. The powerful and thoughtful series created by Jennifer Kaytin Robinson centers on Jules, portrayed fiercely by Eliza Bennett and Ophelia, hilariously portrayed by Taylor Dearden.

Few shows have tackled sexual assault on college campuses, even fewer have successfully done it with as much grace and respect as MTV’s freshman series Sweet/ Vicious.
