man upstairs

"I just love a good murder," says the priest, Lisa, in the opening episode, revealing that she's "had a chat" with the man upstairs about the ethics of taking part.

Before things started to click for Taraji P. Henson, she sought career counseling from the man upstairs.

“They said I got a skate right up close to my artery - really close. … The big man upstairs was watching out for me there. I got very fortunate. It’s kind of what we flirt with, and you try to take as much protection as you can.”

“It was really making the impossible come true. It was a miracle. It was no support except for the man upstairs.”

“It’s just weird, and I put it to the man upstairs — I just feel like he has something he wants me to say, and he picked me to say it and keep saying it,” she added.
