Performance artist Pål Hollender, of Swedish Survivor fame, worked on the show as a producer and is seen on camera in several episodes. Some argue he was hired in an effort to promote the show.
The Song The Passenger by Iggy Pop is used as the theme song for the show (though in a cover version by Lars Bygdén).
