Fun with Acronyms: The series title is abbreviated as JFC, which also stands for Jesus Fucking Christ. This may hint at John's true identity. |

comment |
Sesquipedalian Loquaciousness: As with Milch's other works, characters speak in dense, almost impenetrable language, which worked in a period piece like Deadwood, but seems strange coming from a bunch of modern surfers. |
