* {{Anvilicious}}: The case in "Out on a Limb" centers around a showgirl who was knocked up after being pressured into a sexual relationship by her boss in a CastingCouch situation. With her career effectively ruined and no lawyer willing to touch the case because of her profession and her boss' wealth and connections, she [[DrivenToSuicide committed suicide]]. Over the course of the case, Flo reveals she was raped by a man she had been dating, many of the former showgirls admitted to having also been harassed in the same manner but refused to come forward due to fears of reprisal, and Frankie ''herself'' is accosted while undercover. The typically unflappable Frankie later confesses to having been terrified by the situation, and is subsequently slandered in the press over her off-and-on relationship with black boxer Moses Page to discredit her when she threatens to the bastard to court. It's a very forward and heavy-handed in its handling of sexual harassment. However SomeAnvilsNeedToBeDropped: The scenarios presented in the episode are not only ''very'' real for the era, but the CastingCouch, wealthy and powerful perpetrators all but immune from prosecution, and the tactics of savage UsefulNotes/VictimBlaming are problems women ''still'' face in TheNewTens.

* FollowTheLeader: The show draws clear inspiration from ''Series/MissFishersMurderMysteries'', with Frankie a less aristocratic character than Phryne Fisher.

1) This trope is not YMMV. 2) There's no indication that it's any sort of remake of Miss Fisher.
