‘High School’ beckons in series version of Tegan and Sara’s book

Twins Seazynn (left) and Railey Gilliland star in “High School,” which begins streaming Friday on Freevee.

“Alaska Daily” brings you back to television in a period when you seem to be doing more work there, especially in limited series. Was that the plan for you?

I go where the good stories are, just like a journalist. I follow great stories with great parts, and if I want to tell them, it doesn’t matter where they’re told just that they get told I’m really grateful to the people who give these stories homes, and I keep trying to honor that.

Did you know the movie work of “Alaska Daily” creator and executive producer Tom McCarthy, who won an Oscar for co-writing “Spotlight,” before signing up for the series?

Oh, sure. It was the draw for me to step into this. “The Station Agent,” I loved that movie; it was super-unique and ahead of its time, and I like the mix of quirky drama and levity that he brings to his work

I asked him what his goal was for making this show, and one of them was the importance of showing good journalism ... and of showing what the plight of a journalist is now. There’s such sensationalism out there, it’s easy to flip through things and just get quick snippets, but where’s the whole thing? It’s an interesting time for that profession

Though you’ve made movies set in Alaska, you hadn’t actually been there before starting “Alaska Daily.” Did you have a concept of the state?

It was very different than I imagined. I grew up in the Pacific Northwest, so I had evergreens around me as far as the eye could see and I imagined that was what Alaska looked like, just with more depth, but it doesn’t. It does look like another planet, like a tundra, nothing I’d ever seen before.

Healthy again, Saquon Barkley spearheads Giants’ attack

It’s been three seasons since Saquon Barkley last played with confidence. And if his Week 1 showing is any indication, it’s well justified.

Indeed, the New York Giants’ star running back had a tough row to hoe in 2020 and 2021 after bursting onto the NFL scene in 2018 with a franchise rookie record 1,307 yards in 2018 and following that up with a 1,003-yard season in 2019.

But in Week 2 of 2020, the Giants’ 2018 first round pick out of Penn State grabbed the back of his knee after being hauled down on a running play and was immediately carted off the field. The diagnosis a torn ACL, the type of injury no runner wants.

He missed the remainder of that year and returned in 2021 a mere shell of himself Not confident in the repaired knee and also hampered by an ankle injury, Barkley ran for only 563 yards in 13 games before being placed in the NFL’s COVID-19 protocol.

But in training camp of 2022, he showed up a different player He ran hard and with confidence, thus catching the attention of his teammates and coaches. So when he ran for 164 yards and a touchdown, and caught six passes for 30 yards in the G-Men’s 21-20 comeback win over the Titans in the season opener, no one around the team was surprised.

“He ran hard like he has all camp,” Giants head coach Brian Daboll said.

“He brought it straight to the game field,” added wide receiver Sterling Shepard. “I’m happy and so proud of him because he’s been working his a... off.”

Certainly he’s a key part of the New York attack and that will be on display the morning of Sunday, Oct. 9, when Barkley and the Giants clash with

in a game airing on NFL Network.

Twins playing music’s Tegan and Sara revisit ‘High School’

focus

“Milk Street’s Cooking School: Season 1” (Roku TV series premiere, Oct. 28)

Chef Christopher Kimball (“America’s Test Kitchen”) brings easy, approachable recipes to this original how-to series in which he and his team of experts seek to inspire home cooks to try new techniques, ingredients and tools that will make them more confident, excited and ultimately successful in the kitchen.

“An Amish Sin” (Lifetime TV movie premiere, Oct. 29)

This 2022 drama inspired by a true story follows Rachel (Dylan Ratzlaff), an Amish teen

who refuses to obey her parents’ command that she marry the man who abused her as a child. Sent to a “rehab” for Amish girls who don’t follow the rules, she escapes and makes her way to a neighboring city where she must learn to live outside of the lifestyle she’s always known. Kellie Martin and Rukiya Bernard also star.

To play a famous set of twins, it takes another set of twins, at least in the case of “High School.”

Platinum recording artists Tegan and Sara Quin wrote a bestselling coming-of-age memoir now adapted into a Freevee series that begins streaming with four episodes Friday, Oct. 14 (with the four remaining episodes then debuting over the consequent two Fridays). Premiered at last month’s Toronto International Film Festival, the show casts Railey and Seazynn Gilliland as the teenage Tegan and Sara, with Cobie Smulders (“How I Met Your Mother”) and Kyle Bornheimer (“Brooklyn NineNine”) as their parents.

“It’s very surreal, very nerve wracking,” the real Tegan says of dramatizing her and Sara’s lives.

“We’re definitely preparing our family and friends for this next part of the journey When we wrote our memoir a few years ago, we set out to do something that we thought was really important which was to tell a story about queer women, and specifically about music and coming out and adolescence, in a way that was really smart and intelligent.”

Tegan credits actress Clea DuVall a “High School” executive producer, writer and director with making the Quin twins comfortable with translating “High School” to film: “Clea and Sara and I have

been friends for a long time, and when she approached us about turning the memoir into a TV show, Sara and I just felt reassured right away that somebody who cared about us and our family and friends was at the helm.”

Railey Gilliland maintains making the series “wasn’t easy in the slightest, but getting to hang out with Tegan and Sara and getting to know them made that just slightly easier Their stories are relatable to Seazynn and me. And we just had a lot of fun.”

Adds Seazynn Gilliland, “I think that there was a responsibility, but it was only the best kind of responsibility I’ve never seen anything like this on screen before. When I was 15 myself, I would have loved to see something like this. I think it’s really important to show, and I was able to be the one to show that. So that was nice.”

Despite the success she and Tegan have enjoyed, Sara Quin says of early tunes they wrote and performed, “We had decided that all of the music was bad. It’s actually been the support of people around us who’ve reassured us that the music is strong enough to be a focal point on the show. I think it just sort of shows that young people can do amazing things, right even out of the gate before they’ve had years of training and experience. Sometimes, our first instinct is our best instinct.”

Joanne Froggatt

Do you approach the work any differently if it’s based on a true story? Also, do you like playing these characters that perhaps are a little bit rude? Is it fun for you to get to say things that you might normally not get to say?

Yes, it’s a lot of fun to play the baddie, to put it crudely Yeah, it’s great fun. Why would you not want to? You know, to play the antagonist is always fun. So, yeah, to answer your other question, for me, I don’t think

I approach it differently if it’s based around a real subject matter or a sensitive subject matter. I do think there’s a sort of added responsibility to it when tackling a project like that I don’t think it affects how I prepare for the job as an actor, but it certainly has a gravitas that you sort of carry with you that I think is important.

What is it about murder mysteries that intrigues you as a viewer, not as a participant but as a viewer?

I am constantly fascinated by human behavior which is probably why I’m an actress. So yeah. Just constantly fascinated with why people do things, how people get through certain events in their life, why people behave in certain ways, good or bad, what gets them to that point in their life? Is it nature, nurture? I just find, you know, that whole unanswerable question absolutely fascinating. So yeah. Anything with extreme behavior sort of fascinates me.
