Lord adds, "The point of the whole show is that these people are not living up to their genetic forebears." Lord and Miller also explained that the development of the character of Gandhi as a " party animal" was because they researched that the young Gandhi was "immature" and "into partying" before witnessing the suffering in South Africa.
