The Sandman star Kirby says Death and her Sugar character Ruby have something in common.
"I was thinking of who I would liken Ruby to in terms of other characters that I've played. I didn't think of Death, but perhaps it's this idea of someone that holds great authority but also great sensitivity," Kirby tells GamesRadar+. "I thought of, I thought of Simone from The Good Place, but mostly because they're both brains."
Kirby went on to compare Ruby to James Bond characters M, the Chief of the Secret Intelligence Service, and Q, head of the research and development division of the British Secret Service.
"Ruby is John [Sugar's] mash-up of M and Q. Ruby becomes this very grounding force in Sugar's life. She's a trusted ally, and I think that's what is exciting is that you are watching a show where there is a central character who has relationships with a number of supporting actors, but that relationship is different to every single one."
