They also needed to be able to catch every moment immediately, without redos or second takes. And the producers and photographers wanted it to look good , with thoughtful cinematography, attractive lighting, and cameras that could move in response to what was happening.
They considered building a room that was shot from only one side, like the three-cam setup of a sitcom stage. Ultimately, they rejected that, too. That need dictated everything that followed. Next, they proposed using two-way glass to solve the maneuverability issue.
But the problem with two-way glass, production designer Nora Mendis explains, is that it looks like a mirror.

Her office is swathed in calming neutrals and artfully arranged bookshelves, and her listening pose is a feat of architecture: brows knit together, upper body angled down, eyes angled up, broadcasting total attentiveness and deference to her patients.
