The 1984 book of the same title that the series is based on was set in Texas. But its author, Ross Thomas never explicitly identified the town or region where it took place; when the novel was first published consensus held that Thomas had drawn on his hometown of Oklahoma City for the setting has a very particular locale: the fictional West Texas town of San Bonifacio Greenwald wanted San Bonifacio to feel authentic the kind of place where people could see themselves “My favorite show of all time is Twin Peaks and that was as much about creating a fictional place that felt like it could be real as it was about a murder,” Greenwald says What David Lynch did with the Pacific Northwest Greenwald wanted to do with the far West Texas desert “I fell in love with the idea of a place that feels electric in your imagination and West Texas feels completely alive to me as a place where fictional characters might exist and get into trouble.” But rather than mimic the genre’s tropes—mainly duplicitous femmes fatales and complicated white male protagonists—Greenwald had something more ambitious in mind: rewiring noir for twenty-first-century Texas Before he started writing screenplays, Greenwald wrote about music for Spin magazine and was a staff writer at the ESPN-owned website Grantland. But when Grantland shut down, in 2015, he decided to switch gears. As luck would have it, he got an unexpected phone call from Noah Hawley the Austin-based creator of the television series Fargo whom he had interviewed for a Grantland podcast just a few days prior Hawley wanted Greenwald’s help in adapting Kurt Vonnegut’s Cat’s Cradle for TV (The project is still in development.) Greenwald said yes and a few months later Hawley gave him another job in the writers’ room of his psychotropic TV series Legion With Greenwald’s Hollywood career on the rise he moved from Brooklyn to Los Angeles with his family in 2016 Greenwald’s agents suggested he write a few original scripts to give the industry a sense of what else he could do Greenwald started with Thomas’s Briarpatch which he had hoped to one day transform for the screen He’d first read the book around the same time he had been bingeing on classic films a period in which he devoured every one of Thomas’s 25 thrillers wrote vivid portraits of hard-boiled figures navigating a world of untrustworthy people and dicey situations He was also a master at establishing a strong sense of place by including details that made his fictional settings feel real he notes that a local bar had another name (the Select Bar) before it was christened the Slush Pit by oilmen in the thirties Since Texas—and the border—already loomed large in many people’s imaginations he figured it’d be an apt place to play with an audience’s preconceptions Once Greenwald started adapting Briarpatch for the screen, things fell into line. In the fall of 2016, not long after he finished writing the first episode, Sam Esmail “I’ve been writing professionally for twenty years,” Greenwald says “and this was the most freeing and truly enjoyable experience I’ve had writing anything.”  Thomas’s Briarpatch plot focuses on Benjamin Dill D.C.–based investigator who returns to his Texas hometown after his younger sister The town that Dill comes back to oozes with dramatic tension and the show’s depiction of San Bonifacio—or St as locals call it—makes that palpable The escalating heat is practically a character; in fact the pilot opens with a billboard for a barbecue restaurant emblazoned with the slogan “Get It While It’s Hot,” alongside a cartoon pig that has flaming barbecue sauce dribbling down its backside A digital thermometer displaying the current temperature—a miserable 98 degrees—lies at the advertisement’s center That’s the first of many ominous moments propelling the series’s narrative forward someone lets out all the local zoo’s animals shortly before Dill arrives Our protagonist’s taxi pulls into town just as local law enforcement shoots and kills an unruly kangaroo and a lingering threat throughout the show’s first season involves an escaped tiger that has yet to be caught It feels as though the whole town is close to reaching its boiling point To bring Briarpatch to life, Greenwald hired Iranian American filmmaker Ana Lily Amirpour to direct the show’s pilot “alive and emotional and exhilarating and weirdly nostalgic”—exactly the feelings he wanted Briarpatch to evoke and Greenwald then spoke for hours about how San Bonifacio might look and feel They pulled hundreds of pictures of small and midsize cities and Tonner-Connolly visited El Paso and Ciudad Juárez They were drawn to elements of El Paso because existing between Texas and Mexico.” (Despite the Texas setting the show is filmed in Albuquerque; New Mexico provides production companies with better tax rebates than Texas does so the state has become a frequent cinematic stand-in for our own.) Greenwald staffed Briarpatch with writers—many of them women and people of color—who had worked on some of his favorite TV shows, including Aisha Porter-Christie (Orphan Black), Eva Anderson (You’re the Worst), and Haley Harris (The Leftovers) “A writers’ room is about having these daylong week-long conversations about these fictional people,” Anderson says “If you have too many people of the same perspective it’s easy to miss huge parts of these personalities Andy made a point of keeping the voices super diverse.” To ensure that a subplot involving a Border Patrol agent didn’t devolve into shallow stereotypes, he also hired as a consultant Francisco Cantú whose memoir about the complexities of being a Hispanic Border Patrol agent was a National Book Critics Circle Award finalist in 2018 Cantú says he’d been approached to work on other border-set TV shows “I feel like the border is very often an easy backdrop for a familiar black and white story and I’m just not interested in lending any of my creative energy to projects that do that,” he says “I was really surprised and encouraged by how interested [Greenwald] was in capturing a sense of place and bringing nuance to the borderland Even though the Border Patrol agent character I advised them about has a bit part of a secondary plotline they were interested in creating a very complicated character with muddy intentions and motivations.” Greenwald kept much of Thomas’s tale true to the text, but there are two big differences. In the book, Benjamin Dill is a white man; in the show, Allegra Dill is a Latinx woman, played by Rosario Dawson Greenwald knew from the beginning that he wanted the protagonist to be a woman “I’m just not interested in a traditional white male protagonist doing the same things we’ve already seen him do,” he says It’s common in noir for an outsider detective to clash with local bigwigs and Thomas’s storylines were always about the struggle for power behind the scenes Turning the lead character into a Latinx woman opened up all sorts of narrative opportunities “Diversity is important for our industry it’s also hugely important for storytelling.” Greenwald was curious about how the sorts of tensions Thomas had been fascinated with as a writer might intensify when racism and misogyny were part of the mix when detectives John Strucker and Gene Colder show up unannounced at Benjamin Dill’s hotel and swill glasses of Scotch with him before they get down to brass tacks the two detectives seem unprepared for Allegra’s directness; as Colder condescendingly explains how homicide investigations work (“Miss Dill The TV adaptation also ups the ante on the book’s most dynamic relationship, the one between Dill and his childhood friend Jake Spivey, a retired arms dealer with questionable allegiances. In the show, as in the book, the two characters are lifelong friends who reunite after nearly eight years apart. (Spivey is played by Jay R. Ferguson the art director.) But Greenwald has made their relationship more layered than Thomas’s original When Spivey sees Allegra for the first time in years his eyes brighten and he breaks into a grin and they share a lingering bear hug instead of a firm handshake This Jake says sexually charged things to Allegra that his literary counterpart never did such as “You still like that sort of thing That makes Spivey into something of an homme fatale with mysterious intentions flipping the script on the cliché of the noir genre’s standard-issue viragos Dawson plays Allegra with the same coolness Humphrey Bogart brought to In a Lonely Place’s Dixon Steele; she ignores Spivey’s attempts at flirtation which is a little discomfiting—if she’s holding all the cards now it’s likely that she’s going to drop them pretty soon thanks to the show’s ever-heightening tensions While Briarpatch’s central mystery revolves around the murder of Allegra’s sister Greenwald has given his audience a lot more than that to reckon with viewers are forced to determine who can be trusted and who can’t—but that’s hardly the most enthralling part of this show about an eccentric West Texas town but asking who did it is probably the least interesting question you can ask of a story,” Greenwald says “Everything else is what makes it valuable and compelling.” This article originally appeared in the February 2020 issue of Texas Monthly with the headline “Rethinking the Border Noir.” Subscribe today a server and the assistant manager at Lupo Italian Kitchen in Rehoboth Beach recently earned a trip to Italy for being the top seller of Conti di San Bonifacio wines during SoDel Concepts’ company-wide contest this summer McMaster sold a total of six cases of the Tuscan wine “Chad is an enthusiastic and talented member of the team and he has a bright future with SoDel Concepts,” said Scott Kammerer The contest was part of SoDel Concepts’ employee development program which is an important part of the company's culture "Our servers are taught how to talk about wine suggest pairings and properly serve it," he said "We also want our team to learn all facets of the industry which includes visiting farms and wineries."
