In his first television role in the last 30 years, Gere is seen as a charismatic self-made businessman Max, who owns media outlets in London and around the world. The drama series, written by Tom Rob Smith, is a tale of a broken family with plot deep-rooted in issues about politics, conflicts of a country on the brink of change and power."It is about a mother, a father and a son, and how those relationships destroy each other, how they feed each other, how they need each other, how they need independence but it's impossible. And this human story which we can all relate to is set against a much larger story about international politics; and about the movement of populism which I feel is spreading across the planet at this moment," Gere said."I see populism in the US, and it's obviously happening here in Europe, and Asia. It's happening everywhere. So that's the context for this very human story. I think that's unusual and it's why I feel 'MotherFatherSon' is Shakespearian in scale. It's got real human honesty, but also a vastness in its ambition of dealing with big questions," he added.How did you get involved in the show?"I've never done anything like this playing a lead character in a TV series, or even playing a character for this amount of time. The only thing I remember doing on TV was at the height of the US AIDS crisis, when the producers of a piece called 'And The Band Played On' about HIV AIDS and how the pandemic started needed someone with some visibility to play one of the parts in order for the series to get greenlit. So, I found a couple of days in between something else I was doing to be a part of that."But I've not done anything for television before or since then, so this is my first time making a whole series with the kind of novelistic approach that you just can't do in film. I see 'MotherFatherSon' as an eight-hour movie," he said.Gere says he got involved with "MotherFatherSon", which airs in India on Zee Café, "long before all eight scripts were complete"."It was so intriguing to see where things were going. You want to know where they are going. Tom Rob Smith is able to juggle a lot of characters, and from the beginning I felt that there was a Shakespearian scale to this story. There are even elements in the language Tom uses which are kind of contemporary Shakespearian, that have a real poetic depth to them and such power," he said.( With inputs from IANS )
