Are you involved in this show at all? Replicating an historical era is a lot more work than simply doing a modern-era show. Season 1 was set in 2006 but I still noticed a lot of anachronisms like modern cars, computers, phones, and the frustration of showing the Bow, Chinatown, and other skyscrapers that don't belong in Minnesota.
I'm sure all the small town/rural shoots will be straightfoward but I wonder what kind of 1979 stuff they will do in Calgary. I guess there will be less landmarks and things to look out for when watching the show now as it will be hidden or masked.
What incentives does the show get to shoot here? I know that there being direct flights to L.A. is a plus. What are the economic benefits?
I also remember Keith Carradine mentioning in an interview about living in a downtown hotel for most of the shoot and getting intimate with the +15 system and wandering around when he had nothing to shoot.
