A juicy new drama set in Grosse Pointe premieres at 10pm Sunday on NBC.
Yes, but: The show was filmed in Atlanta, although you might catch local references to Mack Avenue and coney dogs.
What they're saying: "In Grosse Pointe I remember they used to have these garden tours where they would go through people's backyards and everyone from the community would come," Krebs told Metro Times. "It didn't matter where you were from in the Pointes, everyone was part of the same world. We thought it was a great intersection, all these different classes and personalities."
The intrigue: NBC was receptive to the Midwestern old-money setting, but the network made sure to "keep it sexy," per MT.
