This show gave me chills from the reality of the stories, to how close the actors brought this reality to life! The writers either read well, knew people that told stories well, or knew some writers, talented actors/actresses, producers, etc that lived in or around this WELL In question!! Hats off James Franco and your beautiful Co-Exec that's probably close to being old enough to reflect. God bless you all, great job! Hope there's more to come. Evan Davis..

Very accurate! Everything spot on. I did not grow up in New York City during that time. However all of the images are very true. The clothes and the attitudes. Thank you so much for this wonderful show. Maggie Gyllenhaal is superb. Loved James Franco and his dual role.

Hollywood IS pornography. Its full of tape and pedophilia too. This is proof.
