    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      The Lobster Roll restaurant actually exists in Montauk, but is closed in the winter.
    • Goofs
      There are more episodes than not that, during the recaps, used scenes that weren't in any episodes (cut/deleted/alternate scenes). Makes an already confusing storyline more-so. (It's what is known as an unreliable narrator in prose. So it's a feature not a flaw of this drama.)
