SPOILER ALERT: Do not read if you have not watched the first season of “Pretty Hard Cases,” streaming now on IMDb TV. For seven seasons, Adrienne C. Moore played an inmate nicknamed Bla…
played an inmate nicknamed Black Cindy on Netflix’s dark comedy “Orange Is the New Black,” set in a women’s prison Litchfield Penitentiary. With her new television series, “Pretty Hard Cases,” Moore is now on the other side of the law as Kelly Duff, a no-nonsense drug squad detective. But, she has found some important similarities between the two shows that helped make her professional transition an easy one.
But the new partnership rubs off on Kelly, too. Even when it leads to letting a bad guy get away, Kelly opts to help Sam save her son at the end of the season. I first came onto this show in December 2019; that was when I first flew out to Toronto to meet with Meredith and the executive producers, and at that time we went into this little room, very much like theater kids and we took the sides and spread them out all over the floor and just picked up scenes and played with them in different ways. We’d take a pass of a scene in a very serious tone and then we’d take another pass of the scene in a comedic way. We just played with those levels.
As the world shifted while you were working on the show, did anything change for you in terms of how you approached the character — her motivations or even how explicit some of her actions needed to be, in your eyes, when it came to right and wrong? Honestly both. With police, rarely do you see good stories on the news. It’s always that they arrested someone, they stopped someone, they’re on the hunt for someone. From that perspective, yeah, I wanted to offer a different vantage point. And then in general, how we communicate with this community and how we stigmatize even them.
Now she has this new advocate and ally in Sam, and they are going into a more fully-fledged partnership in Season 2. How aligned are they truly, going forward?
