1* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: The ThemeTune captures [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5XPXiY4ncCE&t=0m32s the suspenseful tone]] of the series very well. It's also really catchy.
2* HarsherInHindsight: The final episode reveals a sinister piece of legislation that allows the government almost unlimited power to invade people's privacy. While it was a good plot point at the time, it comes across as eerily prescient of the Patriot Act.
3* {{Narm}}: "A Rough Whimper Of Insanity" portrays TheInternet as {{Cyberspace}} with flawless photo-realism, which can be accessed by BrainComputerInterface. HollywoodHacking comes into play later, and it gets even more hilarious.
4* ParanoiaFuel: Oh dear god, where to begin? [[spoiler: Virtually everything that happens in the show could have been faked by the Conspiracy, including the protagonist's own memories of his life.]]
5* UnintentionalPeriodPiece: Photo negatives (and film photography in general) are nowhere near as common today as they were when this show was made.
