Quotes and trivia
- The opening Scene is likely a tribute to another Television show with a strong, independent female lead, Alias. Similarities to Alias include the character's apperance, music, setting, and camera direction. It might also be a homage to the German film Run, Lola, Run, which was also set in Germany, featured a lead with bright orange hair, and who happens to run throughout large portions of the film to techno music.
- The german voice in the techno music means: "Von der Tiefe, verschlingt es" That is the rough translation of the phrase: "From beneath you, it devours". The exact translation would be: "Von unter Dir, verschlingt es".
