Fridge Brilliance
- In season one, Sally gets dropped from her agency for refusing to get on her agent's Casting Couch. In the second season, she has a new agency and is primarily handled by a woman and a gay man.
- A few viewers may have clocked that Lindsay is visibly pregnant during Season 3 (due to her actress Jessy Hodges being pregnant during filming). It's somewhat easy to miss because it's never referenced, due to not having any relevancy to the plot. However, once you do notice this, it really explains why she scarfed down a beignet in the opening of "710N": they're not just really good beignets, she's having pregnancy cravings.
- Mitch's advice for Barry was quite spot-on.
- Fuches being skeptical of Jim Moss’s claim that he convinced his interrogator in Vietnam to kill himself is likely influenced by his encounter with Stovka. Fuches even says that the interrogator probably had issues beforehand to downplay Moss’s skills, which is an accurate depiction of Stovka’s demise.
- When Janice figured out that Barry was the original killer in the blurry photo that the police department was looking for, why did she try to arrest Barry on the spot, then and there, at a remote cabin in the woods where the only other people around were Gene and Sally? Well, as later seasons show in spades (especially with the Hank/Fuches "Raven" business), cops in that police department don't seem to be very good at their jobs in general.
Fridge Horror
- Stovka shows what Barry's life could turn into if he continues murdering for Fuches. Stovka laments that his whole life has been death at the word of his masters. He's a ghost of a man at only 45 and takes his own life rather than continuing his wretched existence. Fuches is even blamed for driving him to kill himself. Barry never meets him and thus remains in Fuches' thrall until much later.
- With Ronnie now dead, Lily is still out there in the city all alone and possibly still feral.
- In the season 3 finale, Sally has just killed a man, and as Bill Hader has explained in a few interviews she has caught Barry's "disease" of killing people. Her first reaction is to get out of dodge and fly home to Joplin, Missouri. On the one hand, perhaps she's running to her hometown because there's nothing for her in LA. On the other hand, there is someone significant from her past who lives in Joplin, someone whom her biggest regret was that she never stood up to his abuse when they were married...
- An example supplied by Stephen Root himself. When asked what he thinks happened to Fuches after the finale, he responded that he believes Fuches would get right back into business; find another young man to manipulate and make him do the wetwork... except now he's going to be much more successful at it.
