Actor, writer and now showrunner Ray McKinnon had an idea for a TV series about a prisoner who walks free after years on death row. Turns out his script sat for years and when McKinnon got a surprise offer to make the show from SundanceTV, he almost said no. Then, lawyer Neville Johnson, who represents clients who sue studios over profits, explains how the late James Garner was an inspiration.
