What's left behind the scenes
- Filming the series was extremely difficult, as all 10 episodes were being worked on simultaneously across different sets. The series was shot like a movie, with filming lasting over three months during the cold season.
- Stane Katik had to learn how to perform stunts and master new skills—for example, operating a boat and enduring icy water.
- In scenes where Neil Jackson's character consumes alcohol, the actor drinks water (or iced tea if the plot requires him to drink whiskey).
- Up-and-coming actress Kara Theobald had to work hard to tame the dog playing Duranov's pet. A dog trainer specifically gave the actress pieces of cheese and dog treats (the dog's favorite snacks) so that the dog would follow her around the house.
- The series features an international cast. Among the many British and American actors are, in particular, Bruno Bichir from Mexico and Ángel Bunani from Uruguay.
- The atmosphere of the series proved to be so oppressive that between takes, the actors fooled around as much as they could just to unwind and lift their spirits.
- To play the role of a Boston detective, Ángel Bunani had to be trained in weapons handling. The actor watched a vast amount of documentary footage regarding police work.
- Patrick McAlone is British, and a specially invited linguist from Los Angeles worked with him on his American accent. Before filming began, the young actor had never been to the USA.
- Some episodes of the series were filmed in catacombs located in Bulgaria.
