Several people who worked on the show are on the Pennsylvania Film Industry Association Board, and it was filmed in and around Pittsburgh. Maybe that had something to do with it.

That said I believe I read an article suggesting that Netflix plans to not film in Atlanta because of a variety of conservative laws passed in the state of Georgia. That was post the 2018 filming of Mindhunter season 2, but it may affect future shows and films.

All the production companies threatened to leave, which we all thought was paradoxical. Why pull blue votes out of a nearly purple state? Don't concentrate the blue.

Georgia courts overthrew the heartbeat bill, as was predicted. The executive branch is shopping around for a district to pass an abortion law, fight it in court, then elevate it to the supreme court. That should terrify everyone. They think they can win at the highest court.

Before covid-19, there were over 30 big ongoing productions. Netflix, Disney, HBO, and Amazon all have major shows filming here:

No, some of us on HN are adamantly against abortion. I'm far left on almost every issue except that one.

I don't share your opinion, but thanks for listing it (please do so wherever you can). The left need to remember people like you exist.

People often express that left should remember right, be nice and understanding to them. The opposite expectation is rarely stated.

It is kind of interesting.
