What's left behind the scenes

The cat cast in the series was diagnosed with a serious liver disease. Instead of finding another animal, the creators chose to write the cat's illness into the script. The animal died shortly after filming for the final episode ended.
The show's creators claim that viewers should pay attention to the colors of the characters' clothing. Those whose clothes harmonize in color with the main character's outfit are either on her side or will help in the investigation. Those whose colors clash with hers are either opposing Brenda or are the perpetrators.
