Expect at least two or three episodes a season to deal with themes of racism or homophobia. It's also brutal about "The Good Old Days", blatantly showing them to be every bit as bad (or worse) than present day. Also expect a bit of a history lesson with each episode, as a great many of the cases have something to do with something historically significant at the time (for instance, one of the oldest cases deals with women's suffrage). Timeshifted Actors are employed to strong effect, juxtaposed with their future/present-day selves, showing how the effects of a crime can ripple through decades and generations. The music for each episode was of course a Nothing but Hits medley of that period's music (though credit is due for scrounging up some obscure hits from time to time). a prominent cinematic and audio style of each period- the story of a young man from the wrong side of the tracks in the 70's resembles a grindhouse flick, the story of a conflicted teen in the 80's recalls the look and sound of Degrassi Junior High.
For instance, the Flashback Effects are In the Style of. One of the most interesting aspects of the show was that each episode played out as a Period Piece, as the bulk of the story is told through flashbacks strongly reflecting the time when the crime was committed and the culture surrounding those involved.
