* EstablishingCharacterMoment: He's been in other CSI shows before but [[CoolOldGuy Russell]] is introduced having fun racing cockroaches with Avery...before his gets loose and runs away. HilarityEnsues.

* PowerWalk: There's a brief shot of the heroes doing one in the first season TitleSequence.

* MummiesAtTheDinnerTable: "Going Viral" opens with a man making a cup of tea while he listens to the chaos being caused by the hacked 911 calls. He then puts the cup down in front of the man he has just garrotted, who is still sat at the breakfast table.

* StockholmSyndrome: [[spoiler:Vanessa Gillerman]] from "Selfie 2.0" has a bad case of this after years of brainwashing and abuse from the "harem" leader. Not only is she viciously insane, she regards herself as her master's number one servant, a position she guards jealously.[[spoiler:..which motivates her to kill Elizabeth Marks, whom she perceives as a threat to her status.]]

** ''Series/AtMidnight'' did a segment inspired by a WebAnimation/YouTubePoop video that made fun of the show's {{Technobabble}}.

* DarkSkinnedBlond: Raven is one.

* {{Nerd}}: Krumitz wears NerdGlasses, is [[GeekPhysique fat]], socially awkward, and a computer geek, checking almost every box.

* {{Nerd}}: Krumitz. White? Check! Glasses? Check! Fat? Check! Sort of lacking on social graces? Check! Yup, he's a computer nerd.

The show stars Creator/PatriciaArquette as Dr. Avery Ryan, a character introduced in a PoorlyDisguisedPilot episode on ''Series/{{CSI}}'' titled "Kitty". She heads an elite group of {{FBI Agent}}s and [[HollywoodHacking Hollywood Hackers]] in the FBI Cybercrime Division. They investigate nasty "cybercrimes" committed through the dark net and deep web, along with other dangerous misuses of online technology. Her teammates include Elijah Mundo (Creator/JamesVanDerBeek), a badass ex-Marine and divorced father; Simon Sifter (Creator/PeterMacNicol), Avery's boss and an experienced agent who helps the heroes deal with the FBI bureaucracy; Daniel Krumitz (Creator/CharleyKoontz), a wisecracking, laid-back PlayfulHacker; Brody Nelson (Creator/ShadMoss), a former [[TheCracker cracker]] who was caught by Krumitz and is the group's latest recruit; and Raven Ramirez (Music/HayleyKiyoko), another ex-cracker who's been on the team a while.

* AdultFear: The show often deals in this, as several of its villains definitely WouldHurtAChild. For example, "CMND:\Crash" has a mother separated from her daughter, who's one of the passengers trapped on a runaway subway train. [[spoiler:Elijah rescues the girl, along with everyone else, and reunites her with her mother.]] Also InvasionOfTheBabySnatchers and RoaringRampageOfRevenge below.

* InternetSafetyAesop: The show generally takes the side of the victims of this trope: it puts the blame on the people exploiting the things people put online since they're often committing actual crimes by doing so.
