Daily Beast reported on comments by Joey King and Logan Lerman about their personal connections to the series, which inspired them to look into their own heritage. Showrunner Erica Lipez reflected on how writing the show about the Kurc family affected her: “Living alongside this family really altered me as a person. I’m a much sadder person, confronting this chapter of history and thinking about what we can do to each other as human beings. But I’m also a much more hopeful person, trying to lead with compassion.” More cast observations here.
