Being authentic Quote by Kurt Sutter
“I started doing some more specific research on Wales in that period because I like the idea of being authentic to the territory, and with that came the knowledge that there was this great rebellion that was happening with the Marcher barons and conflict with the king. A lot of it wasn't documented by the English.”

![“Success in TV-showmaking is just a matter of being authentic and doing the best you can, and you hope that people watch it and like it. For us [showmakers], we know where our bread is buttered, and we live by the written word of the critic. That's how shows build a critical mass on cable.” quote by Walton Goggins](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/88a/walton-goggins-13029_being-authentic_success-in-tv-showmaking-is-just-a-matte_203396.jpg)
