  • Questionable Casting: Given the show's premise, the decision to include a guest appearance by convicted rapist Mike Tyson, in a sympathetic role no less, was controversial to say the least. Thousands of fans signed petitions asking showrunners to reconsider. (While Tyson's character, Reggie Rhodes, is a convicted murderer, he was made that way by the episode's true baddie played by Ed Asner, and the man he killed had been abusing him too. Rhodes even gets a happy ending, a retrial with the possibility of a lighter sentence, after it's discovered the the prosecutor at his original trial deliberately concealed evidence of the abuse.)
