    • Trivia
      Johnson, who died in 2013 at 88, is sometimes described as a sexologist or psychologist. In reality, she had been studying for a sociology degree when Masters took her on, but the demands of their work prevented her from completing her degree.
    • Goofs
      In the 1950s, the average price of a cup of coffee was ten cents, and full meals could be purchased for around fifty cents. However, at the hospital cafeteria, actors give the cashier several dollar bills when they buy a small snack or cup of coffee and receive no change back.

    No Renewal for a Fifth Season.
    It was a shame they didn't renew for a fifth season as the left many unresolved issues by Season 4 finale. I enjoyed this series for the most part, but the main criticism would be that the pacing was little off at times. Some episodes would be a slow-burn, as some would say and yet whole years would pass in-between episodes without any context.

    Minor criticism really as again, I enjoyed this generally. Found to hold both lead (Michael Sheen, Lizzy Caplan) in higher esteem after their performances in this.
