Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Based on Greg Rucka's genuinely great Oni Press comic, though the show softens Dex's bisexuality and military contractor backstory significantly.
Canceled after one season despite strong ratings—ABC blamed COVID production delays, but fans suspect it was always too queer and working-class for network comfort. The final episode aired with zero promotion during pandemic chaos.
