Trivia

In the Season 1 opening title sequences, if you look carefully, the pictures next to the actors' names are connected in some way to their characters whether it was something they did or something about their character. For example, next to Ulrich Thomsen's (Proctor) name there's a picture of an Amish woman and a picture of a butcher knife relating to his past and occupation. Frankie Faison (Sugar) has a picture of his title fight next to his name.

Goofs

The USMC Marines from Camp Genoa are seen in town in their digital (deployment) uniforms. Marines cannot wear those off base other than being in actual field training or combat. For the bar and town scenes, they would be in some combination of the Alpha or Bravo uniform, the dress green blouse and trousers with the Khaki shirt and tie. Or at more formal events, in their blues.
