- TriviaWhen there are close-ups of Elizabeth's hands while preparing food, those belong to Food Consultant and chef Courtney McBroom. She also prepared all of the food that Elizabeth makes in the series. Brie Larson is best friends with Courtney and asked if she'd be interested in being involved in the production.
- GoofsThe Rowing Erg Machine wasn't invented until 1981 and thus would never have been spoken of in the 1950s.
Correction: The first known use of erg was in 1873. Calvin built his own machine, and erg was used in reference to it- they weren't speaking of a manufactured model that contained "erg" in the name. It's quite possible that they were using the term erg in a general context.
- Quotes
Elizabeth Zott: Of course, I would be much further along in my research if I wasn't making excellent coffee for mediocre scientists.
Calvin Evans: You're on the verge of a major scientific breakthrough. You need to talk to Donatti.
Elizabeth Zott: I did. He said no.
Calvin Evans: That doesn't make any sense. Why?
Elizabeth Zott: Sex discrimination.
Calvin Evans: What?
Elizabeth Zott: Well, also politics and favoritism and general unfairness. But yes, mostly sex discrimination.
Calvin Evans: I don't understand. Why would anyone discriminate based on something as intellectually non-determinative as gender?
- ConnectionsFeatured in The Project: Episode dated 23 November 2023 (2023)
After having watched 'Chuck' in 2019 that forever changed my life, that's the second stellar production that has and will have an everlasting impact on my life for the better. After a long while, the only series that made me emotional in nearly every episode and wet my eyes with droplets of tears.
103 reviews are way too low and I sincerely hope that more people get drawn to its brilliancy and have their lives changed for the better.
A special recognition to Alice Halsey (Madeline) who just shone and irradiated energy and wittiness like powerful Gamma rays. Wish her utmost success and happiness. Also, I so loved their dog. So smart and gentle. Incredible.
'Lessons in Chemistry' deserves to win multitude of awards brought in by a giant truck.
