What's left behind the scenes

The first season takes place in Modesto, California, but the season was primarily filmed in Texas.
In the third season, the series regulars appeared on screen for only half of the season due to budget constraints.
This is an anthology series, where each season has its own storyline and the actors play different characters.
For the first season, creator, writer, and director John Ridley decided that Felicity Huffman, who has blue eyes, should wear brown contact lenses to make her character appear even more formidable.
