* WhereDaWhiteWomenAt?: {{Deconstructed}}. Though Louis and Sarah's relationship would be controversial in the time period, it's not made much of an issue of in the story itself (in fact, few people outside their circle of friends seem to know it's going on). Furthermore, it's Sarah who makes most of the moves on Louis whereas he [[spoiler:is incredibly quick to distrust her when he's framed for Jessie's murder]].

* YouAreACreditToYourRace: Though it's never voiced explicitly, it's clear that many of the white people Louie meets consider him this (Donaldson tells Stanley in private that he thinks Louie is remarkably articulate and gentlemanly). In comparison, none of them like the more antagonistic and suspicious Wesley.

* ThePowerOfTrust: Makes up a big part of the fourth and fifth episode, in which Stanley has no idea who to trust amongst his new friends. It ends up being a short-list of [[spoiler:Stanley, Eric and (surprisingly) Pamela]].

Airing in early 2013, the series is most notable for its AllStarCast, including ChiwetelEjiofor, John Goodman, Matthew Goode, Jacqueline Bisset, Joanna Vanderham, Caroline Quentin, JennaLouiseColeman, AngelCoulby, Janet Montgomery and AnthonyHead. The first trailer can be seen [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hcqnCz5chXs here]] and the second one [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VdImu56_JRE here]].

* CoolTrain: Masterton has a private train that takes his guests to mystery locations.

* HowWeGotHere: Each episode opens eighteen months before the main events of the plot, exploring how Louie ended up on the run.

* LeftHanging: Quite a few plot-threads are deliberately left dangling or ambiguously resolved.

* HiddenDepths: Pamela, who ends up [[spoiler:being one of the few white people to come through for Stanley]].

* AttemptedRape: [[spoiler:Implied to be the motive behind Jessie's fatal attack]].

* RoleAssociation: An amusing one for ''Series/{{Merlin}}'' fans. [[RomanticRunnerUp Princess Mithian]] once again has to play second fiddle to [[AngelCoulby Queen Guinevere]], only for Gwen to be seriously wounded and have [[AnthonyHead King Uther]] of all people try and gently coax her out of her coma.

* TokenRomance: Louie and Sarah's love scenes could be snipped out without causing any damage to the overall StoryArc.

* CallBack: Louie tells Sarah that he once saw a young woman ask for new cultery after he accidentally brushed past her table. Later, Sarah notices a woman demand a new teacup after Jessie's hand brushes it in passing.
