We can see the comfort and understanding level among the actors, like when they did the 'prank' video with Victoria, it shows the level of comfort. Plus, both Penn and Victoria have similar thoughts about the character of Joe and love. 

"(You is) completely romanticized, and Joe and Love aren't real people. But I find true crime shows are often exaggerated and make people scared of going outside their house, and I can't do that to myself.

The actress added, "I am already perfectly aware of how scared I should be in the world. I don't need to stir more of that up."
