* IncestSubtext: Like [[Film/DeadRingers its predecessor]], the series toes the line between this and just plain text, with Elliot suckling on Beverly's neck, the twins gently caressing each others' faces while staring deeply into the other's eyes and such lines as "Every time you look at her, air gets punched out of your lungs" and "I keep looking for air. I keep looking for light. You're it." Music/SoftCell's Tainted Love is even used as the trailer song.
