    • Trivia
      From the very outset, director Sam Esmail had been insistent on using original segments from a variety of his favorite original scores for his series. After exhaustively researching the complex prospect of licensing and copyright considerations, Esmail was eventually able to acquire clearance to go ahead with what had never been done before: score a TV series with digitized samples of original feature film music compositions. The excerpts from original scores used throughout the series were gleaned from the following: Title / Composer / Director

    Simply excellent
    In just 20-30 minutes per episode, they mix the drama and suspense and hook you up in this weird but fascinating story. Tha performance of Roberts and the direction of Esmail is amazing
