Season 1 had historical figures like J. Robert Oppenheimer (played by Daniel London) mingling with fictional scientists like Dr. Frank Winter (John Benjamin Hickey) and his botanist wife Dr. Liza Winter (Olivia Williams).

Miller Director: Bradford May Distributor: Skinfly Entertainment Release Date (theatrical): October 30, 2015 Barring the cell phones and the fact that mixed martial arts wasn’t big in the West yet, STREET could easily be mistaken for one of those ‘70s indie action flicks that turn up on El Rey Network.
