- Billing Displacement: Christina Ricci, due to being the biggest star in the series, gets top billing, despite that her character, Maggie, is often sidelined or Out of Focus. The show mainly offers up an Ensemble Cast, but if a main character had to be picked it would probably be Kate, whose actress, Kelli Garner, gets And Starring status.
- Executive Meddling: Margot Robbie explained in a 2016 interview
that the ABC executives panicked at the early ratings, and after the fifth episode replaced the writers, in hopes of trying to make it more akin to Desperate Housewives, which simply caused the show to tank further. - Fake Nationality: French-Canadian Karine Vanasse as the French Colette, and Australian Margot Robbie as the American Laura.
- Follow the Leader: The show was essentially Mad Men only on a plane!
- * Out of Order:
- Episode four is actually episode two (its production code is PA-102). Unfortunately the shuffle puts the launch of Mercury 9 (May 16th 1963), seen on the TV, after episode three's JFK's Berlin speech (June 26th 1963).
- Also "Romance Languages" is shown several weeks late and resolves several plot threads that were skipped over in running order (When did Laura take the nude photos? When did Ginny and Dean break up?).
- What Could Have Been: Because the series had done better internationally, Sony Pictures Television had discussions with Amazon about a second season, but they couldn't come to an agreement.
