During ATX TV Festival, I caught up with Jake Johnson to talk about his role as Karl in Maximum Pleasure Guaranteed.
While many viewers may see Karl as the antagonist of the story, Johnson explained that he approached the character from a very different perspective.
“I thought it’d be really fun to play Karl as if he was a hundred percent right.”
Johnson noted that the series is told through Paula’s point of view, which naturally shapes how audiences perceive Karl. However, he believes Karl is simply trying to do what he thinks is best, even when his actions create conflict.
As for Karl and Paula’s future?
Johnson admitted he has no idea what a potential second season might hold.
“We’ll have to wait and see.”
