- 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.
- Quotes
Elizabeth Zott: Of course, I would be much further along in my research if I wasn't making excellent coffee for mediocre scientists.
Calvin Evans: You're on the verge of a major scientific breakthrough. You need to talk to Donatti.
Elizabeth Zott: I did. He said no.
Calvin Evans: That doesn't make any sense. Why?
Elizabeth Zott: Sex discrimination.
Calvin Evans: What?
Elizabeth Zott: Well, also politics and favoritism and general unfairness. But yes, mostly sex discrimination.
Calvin Evans: I don't understand. Why would anyone discriminate based on something as intellectually non-determinative as gender?

Larson plays Zott perfectly. Her almost robotic quality in so captivating.
I have to say that I am completely hooked on the storyline and invested in the characters.
Definitely give this series a chance. I am sure you will love it as much as I do.
