Season 2 generally

Trivia: Instead of the Royal Air Force, the series has a fictitious British Air Force with largely invented insignia. Ranks are taken from the RAF, but sometimes different rank insignia is worn (e.g. an air vice-marshal wearing air marshal's insignia and a flight lieutenant wearing flying officer's insignia, although another flight lieutenant wears correct insignia).

American Gods picture

Trivia: Its teaser trailers are, for the most part, out-take footage that doesn't actually appear in the episodes. For example, in the scene in which ShadowMoon and Mr. Wednesday first meet aboard the airliner, the teaser trailer uses completely different camera shots and different performances from the actors. In the actual episode, the camera shots and performances for the same scene are noticeably different.

Alcatraz picture

Trivia: This show pays many homages to the 1968 film Bullitt which was also set in San Francisco. Firstly officer Rebecca Madsen's car is the exact same make, colour, and model Mustang that Steve McQueen drove in Bullitt. Also the final episode (Tommy Madsen) features a car chase which recreates many shots from the 1968 film. It even includes the green Beetle Volkswagen coming down the hill as seen in the movie.
