Åkerman, 47, exclusively told Us Weekly before the show premiered on Monday, July 21, saying, "The controversy is what appealed to me. [But] the boy that [my character] has moments with is 18. He's supposed to be of age so that we don't cross into that border." The actress acknowledged that the show was cutting it "real close." "That [underage] element wasn't thrown in there. That can be a really different conversation.
