* AcclaimedFlop: Despite the show's apparent massive popularity with critics and audiences, the actual ratings are shockingly low. The second season dipped substantially below one million viewers for most episodes, putting it behind USA shows like ''Chrisley Knows Best'', which achieve no pop culture penetration at all. However, the prestige that the show receives kept it from being canceled, and it was renewed for a total of four seasons.

** In the series, Tyrell (aged 33) is supposed to be older than Elliot (aged 29) while in reality Rami Malek is 2 years older than Martin Wallstrom.

* WordOfStPaul: White Rose's gender identity is kept ambiguous in season one, given the fact that s/he appears in one scene dressed as a woman and another scene dressed as a man. Actor B.D. Wong said in an interview, however, that the showrunner told him that White Rose is a trans woman.

The second season dipped substantially below one million viewers for most episodes, putting it behind USA shows like ''Series/ChrisleyKnowsBest,'' which achieve no pop culture penetration at all. However, the prestige that the show receives as well as it arguably being USA's darling will likely keep it on the air, given that the even lower ratings for season three weren't enough to prevent a fourth season from being greenlit.

** WebVideo/RalphTheMovieMaker loves the show, to the point where he has autographs of both Rami Malek and his brother Sami (who doesn't even act)

** It is also ironic, given the tech-focused subject matter of the show. Ratings (probably) don't account for streamers, and definitely don't account for torrenters.
