- TriviaAngel's Flight funicular railway began service in 1901 and after numerous shutdowns and being moved from the original location, it resumed service in downtown Los Angeles until the advent of the COVID-19 pandemic. The iconic orange/red arch seen in the series continues to grace the lower end of the tracks. The funicular also was featured in an episode of the CBS version of Perry Mason (1957): The Case of the Twice-Told Twist (1966), which was the only episode the series filmed in color. The cars travel at a 33 percent grade for 315 feet and is allegedly the shortest rail road line in the world. As of 2020, the fare is $1.00 for a one way trip.
- GoofsDrake repeatedly refers to himself as "black." In the 1930s, that word was considered a pejorative. "Colored" or "Negro" were the preferred, acceptable terms. The writers appear to have addressed this error in Season 2 with Drake now consistently using "colored".

Featured review
...and I'm not disappointed. I'm all for providing an old story an origin, and this production gives you just that and does it very well. And, boy, is it gritty, dusty, smoky, and boozy. It is not for the weak-stomached. Keep in mind that this is an old story being told in today's voice. The Perry Mason of the 60's is an interpretation of his character for television audience of that decade, produced for family network TV, while the HBO version is for an audience that expects what HBO is capable of delivering. Can't wait for the finale to see how it all comes together.
