Shout Out / APB

• The most prominent cop in the show is a detective named Murphy paired up with a wisecracking smart guy who isn't really a cop, he just helps the cops out. For bonus points, the TV version of Murphy was changed to a Hispanic woman, and APB's Murphy is Hispanic on her mother's side.
  • It can double as a shoutout in the Robocop franchise.
• The idea of a private company improving a Chicago police station is also one based from Robocop.
• Gideon giving a shoutout to his own band, Dimestore Darlings.
