Trivia
The brand of cigarettes that Mrs. Martinez smokes, Morley, is not a real brand, but it has been a popular fake cigarette brand in TV shows and movies since 1960, when it appeared in Alfred Hitchcock's movie Psycho (1960). Perhaps its best-known use was as the brand preferred by the "Cigarette Smoking Man" on The X Files (1993).

Crazy credits
Season 2 episode "The Battle for Red Hook" has an extended animated opening credit sequence.

Great Show!

I watched this show when it came out & now, 8 years later, I'm watching it again! Yes, it's that good! I recommend it to anyone that enjoys these types of shows. The special effects are outstanding! The actors are great & I wouldn't change any of them out for anyone else. If you haven't seen this, YOU NEED TO! Trust me, you will not be disappointed one bit! The storyline keeps you wanting more & makes you want more so you will have a hard time just saying " OK, just one more episode!" LOL! Yeah right, that would be really hard hahaha! I can binge watch if I could lol! So, enjoy and have fun!!!
