Show generally

Corrected entry: The show presents a transgender woman as a chaplain and choir director in the 1950s. While female chaplains did exist at the time, a transgender woman would never be allowed to be a chaplain in the 1950s.

Correction: The character is not transgender.

Show generally

Factual error: The series presents a biracial orphanage in Lexington, Kentucky in the late 1950s. Biracial orphanages did not exist in the American South in the 1950s or early 1960s.

Harry Beltik: Anger's a potent spice. A pinch wakes you up. Too much dulls your senses.
