However, it was the casting of Delvey, the convicted felon who was under house arrest, that created a bit of an uproar. Showrunner Conrad Green stands by the casting, telling Variety that “we’ve always tried to be a very broad church when it comes to the types of people, the types of backgrounds, the types of stories we have on the show. Anna is fascinating to a lot of people, a lot of people have watched the dramas about her life and have followed her.”
