According to a report in Rolling Stone, production on this series had “gone wildly, sickeningly off the rails.” Sources say that after a change of directors with Levinson taking over for Amy Seimetz there was a “creepy” twist, creating a crazy work environment. But the claims have been refuted by cast members.
