- Actor-Shared Background: Sister Alice is a Canadian played by Canadian actress Tatiana Maslany.
- Dueling Works: Penny Dreadful: City of Angels debuted about two months before this series, both of which are set in interwar-period Los Angeles and include characters based on Sister Aimee Semple-McPherson.
- Fake American: Matthew Rhys is Welsh and Gayle Rankin is Scottish. Both play Americans, though in an Actor Allusion, Perry says he's a quarter Welsh in the second episode.
- Queer Character, Queer Actor: Jen Tullock, who's queer, plays Anita St. Pierre, the second woman Della sees in Season 2.
- Real-Life Relative: E.B.'s son is played by John Lithgow's Real Life son Ian.
- Screwed by the Network: The series had a massive Covid-19 induced delay that resulted in it being cancelled after the second season.
- Troubled Production: The second season came out nearly three years after the first. The COVID-19 Pandemic and restructuring leading to Warner Bros. Discovery are to blame.
- Typecasting:
- Matthew Rhys's Perry Mason usually wears the exact same hang-dog expression that defined his character from The Americans.
- There's a Smug Snake character in the series. What are the odds that he's played by Stephen Root?
- What Could Have Been: Originally, Robert Downey Jr. was going to play Perry, but he was recast with Matthew Rhys due to scheduling conflicts. He is still attached to the series as an executive producer.
