Not YMMV.


* TooDumbToLive: Seriously, it is made ''abundantly clear'' that both of them would be tortured and killed horribly for having an affair, and yet [[spoiler: Jed and Pine]] still do it anyway. In fact, Jed in general embodies this trope, especially after [[spoiler: said affair when she]] ''calls Pine's hotel room while he's in Istanbul'' knowing he's there with Roper and company. It of course blows Pine's cover enough that Angela tries to pull him out, since if anyone in Roper's organization finds out, Pine is worse than dead.

* HilariousInHindsight: The very English nicknames Roper gives all his henchman are exactly the kind the Drones in classic Creator/HughLaurie series Series/JeevesAndWooster would refer to each other by.

* JustHereForGodzilla: The lion's share of online interest and media coverage of this critically acclaimed miniseries focused on a sex scene, so much so that when the US broadcast censored said sex scene, there were copious complaints, leading to the subsequent North American DVD release to include a sticker on the front of the box promising it to be uncensored.
