Trivia

While the show was available for streaming on Netflix (prior to January 1st, 2017) this episode was not included, but the episode's description was accidentally attached to the next episode in the season. There is no obvious answer as to why this was done, or if it was intentional at all.

Goofs

A radio announcer telling the news says that former Preisdent Bill Clinton is celebrating his 72 birthday. Given that the show (season one) takes place in the early 2020's and that Clinton was born in 1956, that would place Bill Clinton in his mid 60's inside the series time frame.
