- 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.

Featured review
[8.6] Truckload of awards waiting around the corner
A gem of a series. I still can't believe how tremendously good it was. Started watching and was blown away. Nearly everything is impeccable in it and for the first time, I praise Brie Larson's acting, kudos Brie, I'm so happy that you were finally given a memorable role that you can be proud of. One of the best of your underrated career, if not the best.
After having watched 'Chuck' in 2019 that forever changed my life, that's the second stellar production that has and will have an everlasting impact on my life for the better. After a long while, the only series that made me emotional in nearly every episode and wet my eyes with droplets of tears.
103 reviews are way too low and I sincerely hope that more people get drawn to its brilliancy and have their lives changed for the better.
A special recognition to Alice Halsey (Madeline) who just shone and irradiated energy and wittiness like powerful Gamma rays. Wish her utmost success and happiness. Also, I so loved their dog. So smart and gentle. Incredible.
'Lessons in Chemistry' deserves to win multitude of awards brought in by a giant truck.
