* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: The use of "Also Sprach Zarathustra" for a scene involving an expanding foam phallus on a fertility doll.
* BrokenBase: [[spoiler:The death of Leo (one of the two leads of the show) in the second-season opener]]. Some regard it as an interesting development that drove a narrative arc that stretched across several episodes and was tense and exciting, and others decry it as a cheap plot twist that caused a lot of the personality and fun to be sucked out of the show. It doesn't help matters that the death came a short while after the character in question had survived multiple assassination attempts (from a completely unrelated party).
* CompleteMonster: Victor Loubar, a.k.a. "The Chameleon", is an EvilCounterpart to Rollie who has repeatedly escaped justice, kills multiple people over the course of the series, and is so CrazyPrepared that he always manages to stay one step ahead of the authorities. Having already racked up a double-digit body count by the end of the series, he goes a step further by [[LatexPerfection impersonating Rollie]], [[RapeAsDrama sleeping with Angie]] to cause angst to both of them, and very nearly gets away with assassinating a high-level Chinese official during a diplomatic summit.
* MoneyMakingShot: A shot where a cleaver is "pulled" out of a stuntman's head (he's wearing a facial apparatus to make it look like the knife is embedded in his face), much to Angie's chagrin, was one of the most prominent images in the second season's opening credits.
* SoOkayItsAverage: While the show was able to run for two seasons based off a small-but-loyal fanbase from [[Film/FXMurderByIllusion the original films]], the StrictlyFormula nature of the episodes meant it ultimately failed to rise in the ratings, leading to its cancellation at the end of the second season.
* UnintentionalPeriodPiece: The show strictly dates itself to a time where technology was in transition just prior to widespread usage of the internet and cell phones, with ProductPlacement showing Rollie using Iomega Jaz Drives (an ultimately-unsuccessful attempt to replace the 3.5" floppy disk), bulky laptops and plots that required characters to run to each other because they didn't have immediate access to cell phones.
