No escape from reality?'' }}

 

* [[Shadow Archetype]]: Gabriel Wyath III is acknowledged by Britten as what he fears becoming: a man suffering from mental illness, who's lost everything due to his refusal to recognise the death of a loved one.

* [[Shout-Out]]: To [[Mark Kermode]], Simon Mayo, and listeners of their show. The following line from episode 4, "Kate Is Enough" was put in by Jason Isaacs after he was dared to put the words "teapot" and/or "ukulele" into his series on Kermode & Mayo's show on December 23rd (2012). Presumably as a result of his being [[Memetic Mutation/Radio|constantly greeted on their show]]...

** In the red-reality end of "Slack Water", Emma has been watching a marathon of ''[[The X-Files]]'' on cable while the Brittens were out.

* [[Take a Third Option]]: {{spoiler|The last scene of the series shows Britten ending up in a world where both Rex and Hannah are alive. This ''could'' be interpreted as the rest of the series being [[All Just a Dream]], but [[Word of God]] states that it's just Britten digging himself deeper into delusion.}}

* [[Villainous BSOD]]: {{spoiler|Harper}} is working to keep things under control frantically yet effiecently. Then what {{spoiler|she's}} done catches up with {{spoiler|her}}, and she breaks down. [[Determinator|Briefly.]]

* [[Wham! Line]]: The last scene of "The Little Guy": {{spoiler|an unspecified group set up Britten's car crash, they have (seemingly) sinister plans for him, and his [[Da Chief|boss]] is in on it.}}

* [[Working the Same Case]]: In the preview, this happens. Due to the premise of the show however, Britten himself is working on the same case (or at least, a case involving similar culprits/victims) in each reality with each reality providing clues to reach the final confrontation in both.

* [[Wrongfully Accused]]: John Cooper was framed by Michael's ex-partner and busts out of jail (in the green reality) to prove his innocence.
