Canadian director Michael McGowan joins Shad to discuss his Netflix science fiction survival drama Between, which imagines a world in which everyone over the age of 21 has been wiped out by disease. 

McGowan describes his lead characters as "old enough to assume responsibility [but] young enough to screw it up". He reflects on the challenges of surviving a harsh world as young, inexperienced person — and as a Canadian show.
