* CastingGag: Creator/TessaThompson couldn't return to play Sam as she committed to another project. In the second season however she returns, playing a commentator with basically the opposite views from Sam's (naturally, they clash).



* StreisandEffect: Unsurprisingly, the TV show's title angered a lot of people online, leading them to call for the boycotting of Netflix for even agreeing to green-light a series with a name supposedly racist to white people and categorizing them as monsters. Creator Justin Simien applauded this kind of backlash because it only brought the series more fame and publicity.

* TheOtherDarrin: Most of the actors from the film didn't return for the TV adaptation. Most notable is Creator/TessaThompson, who couldn't reprise her role because she was busy filming ''Film/ThorRagnarok''. Logan Browning ended up replacing her in the role of Sam, though Thompson eventually did appear in the second season playing a side character (her views are, ironically, pretty much Sam's opposite).
