- GoofsSeveral episodes including the Pilot and S2E1 have a county coroner van. In New Mexico, there are no such things as county coroners. Medical forensics and death in New Mexico are handled by a state level agency called Officer of the Medical Investigator, and all autopsies are handed in Albuquerque.
- Quotes
Mary Shannon: [intro] Since 1970, the Federal Witness Protection Program has relocated thousands of witnesses, some criminal, some not, to neighborhoods all across the country. Every one of those individuals shares a unique attribute, distinguishing them from the rest of the general population. And that is, somebody wants them dead.

One novel aspect of the show is that its about a lady marshal in Albuquerque, New Mexico. She's in charge of people in the "witness protection program" who have been assigned to her area. She cautions and reassures them that since 1970 (when the witness program started), "No one who has followed the rules has ever been harmed." Powerful words.
Can they comply? When things go wrong, can she protect them? How can she keep their identities safe - even from the local police?
Aside from the setup, the show is ultimately interesting because she's fun to watch. She's sassy, witty, playful, smart, responsible ... and physically tough. I recommend watching an episode; if the lead character grabs your interest, then you're likely to enjoy the show.
