Robert J. Sawyer, the writer on whose book the series was based on, sent outlines to the writing team with ideas for the second season that never materialized.

* ActorAllusion:
** In episode three, Demetri accidentally knocks over a bong at a suspect's house, and says, "It's OK, I know what a bong is", in reference to ''Film/HaroldAndKumarGoToWhiteCastle''.
** In episode four, Olivia calls Mark "The Creator/WilliamShakespeare of children's stories," which is probably a reference to Joseph Fiennes's role in ''Film/ShakespeareInLove''.
* FakeAmerican:
** English Joseph Feinnes as Mark Benford
** English Sonya Walger as Olivia Benford
** Irish Brían O'Byrne as Aaron Stark is [[OohMeAccentsSlipping a particularly egregious example]].
* HeyItsThatPlace: The [[Film/BladeRunner Bradbury]] [[Music/{{Genesis}} Building]].
* TheOtherDarrin: Dylan Simcoe was recast in the middle of filming the pilot. Some scenes feature Dylan #1 and some Dylan #2; one of them took over for the series proper.
* RealLifeRelative:
** An interesting case in that Alex Kingston used to be Joseph Fiennes' sister-in-law (she was formerly married to one of his older brothers, Ralph).
** And John Cho's wife Kerri guest-starred in "Queen Sacrifice".
