- TriviaWhen there are close-ups of Elizabeth's hands while preparing food, those belong to Food Consultant and chef Courtney McBroom. She also prepared all of the food that Elizabeth makes in the series. Brie Larson is best friends with Courtney and asked if she'd be interested in being involved in the production.
- GoofsThe Rowing Erg Machine wasn't invented until 1981 and thus would never have been spoken of in the 1950s.
Correction: The first known use of erg was in 1873. Calvin built his own machine, and erg was used in reference to it- they weren't speaking of a manufactured model that contained "erg" in the name. It's quite possible that they were using the term erg in a general context.

Featured review
My favourite show of the year by a mile
What a pleasant surprise this was. Really, the only issues I see is macro plotting and pacing, which, at the outset, make it feel like it's spinning its wheels a bit too much. Once it does though, it's a force. It is subversive of genre in many ways. The acting is great (Larson is perfect casting especially) . It's unpredictable, thematically cogent, and gets messaging right- something tv shows rarely get right. Usually they beat you over the head with it or else have little to no point at all.
Like all fiction, of any medium, it has a lot to say about many things, and in doing so, has a quality of elegance about it.
