Despite being well received by critics and fans, the show was unfortunately ScrewedByTheNetwork, and received the axe before the first season was even finished. Much like ''Series/{{Angel}}'' though, the staff was able to give their last season a heck of a GrandFinale.

* AfterTheEnd: Sort of. In "Vega", it's mentioned that everything outside Detroit has supposedly been reduced to uninhabitable wasteland.

* {{Leitmotif}}: Several characters seem to have these. Tennie has one heard in "Fearless" and "Mayhem Night," which is notably calmer and more beautiful-sounding than the show's standard rock soundtrack. The Duke of Detroit and Kane might have these too.
