    • Trivia
      Murphy uses color in the costumes and sets to represent themes: Yellow as Deception, Blue as Neutrality, Red as Wickedness, White as Purity, and Green as Honesty. Sometimes the costumes subtly change hue as one theme transitions to another.
    • Goofs
      Roads at the time the series is set were not commonly painted in the modern fashion (double yellow "no passing" center lines and white lines along the shoulders).

      Follows One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (1975)

    The Writers Need to Do More Research
    The writers need to do a little bit more research about the era. Without spoiling too much, the writers add diversity, but it doesn't work well at times because the writers fail to go in depth about the racism and homophobia of the era. I personally don't mind adding black or other minorities to shows. I'm a black woman myself. But why include black people in unrealistic roles in a show set in the 1940s? It's not representation. It's a complete lie and undermines the plight of black people and other minorities during that era. I saw this in Ryan Murphy's Hollywood as well. Again, sugar coating racism and homophobia. To be LGBTQ and/or a person of color was DANGEROUS back then. The stakes aren't realistically high enough in this show. If you watch the show, some parts are pretty tone deaf to the racist policies that occurred in the 40s.

    Despite this, the show is okay. It's not great. I've never seen AHS so I don't have that frame of reference. The acting is very good. If you have time to waste, watch it. It's not unbearable although. Although the historical accuracy is trash.
