* DeadlyEuphemism: Otto refers to hitmen as "house painters," which is real mob slang, at least according to [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank_Sheeran Frank Sheeran]].



* ImposterForgotOneDetail: When Vince exposes how he figured out Marius' con, he presses on how Karolina said both "Slovenia" and "Slovakia" while trying to seduce him. Karolina tries to keep up the act, claiming she only said Slovenia. Vince actually congratulates her for not breaking character but then asks "what's the capitol of Slovenia?" Her lack of reply has him chuckling.

* {{Retool}}: If the show had aired on CBS, as it was supposed to initially, it would have been a pretty episodic skiptracer procedural run by David Shore. Then the pilot moved to Amazon, who wanted a more serialized show. This change made Shore uncomfortable so he left, and was replaced by Graham Yost. As a result there are a [[EarlyInstallmentWeirdness bunch of differences between the pilot and the rest of the show]]
