    • Trivia
      Ron Cephas Jones plays Octavia Spencer's father, "Poppy", although he is only 13 years her senior.
    • Goofs
      Mekhi Phifer's New York (Harlem) accent is too strong for it to be believable that his character is from Oakland, CA.

    Interesting show, keeps my attention

    I don't understand the negative reviews. I find the acting by Octavia Spencer and Aaron Paul (who I love) to be superb. My attention span is not what it used to be so I cannot watch slow moving shows. This one has kept my attention and I don't find myself wandering off because the story line is not just about the plot but also about the characters.
