- TriviaEach episode's title is an anagram, providing part of an ongoing message. The pilot's title, "Woe Has Joined", rearranges to "Who is Jane Doe".
- Goofs(at around 26 mins) The tattoo that was covered up is identified as a Navy SEAL tattoo and it was pointed out that special operations service members would not have fingerprints in the federal database.
The government training that someone goes through is not classified. Their missions might be, but their training is not. Therefore, if someone joined the Navy, or any other branch of the armed forces, there would be a publicly accessible file on them, regardless of what military occupational specialty or duty assignments they may have had and their fingerprints would be in a database accessible by the FBI. Furthermore, to date, there have never been any female Navy SEALs.
Also although Navy personnel (and sailors in general) are notorious for getting tattoos, actual Navy SEALs would not tattoo SEAL imagery on their bodies. Doing so would violate operational security and prohibit them from serving in plainclothes. It would also endanger SEALs made prisoners or hostages and make them subject to abuse or severe interrogation.
- Quotes
[Dr. Borden interviews Jane Doe for the first time]
Jane Doe: I didn't even dream last night. I was really hoping I would, you know? I thought maybe it would... I just... Someone did this to me, took away my whole life, and I can't do anything.
Dr. Borden: I got you a coffee and a tea this morning. Which would you prefer? Well, go ahead. Try them.
Jane Doe: [Jane takes a drink from the left cup of coffee and then the right cup of tea] Uh, I like this one. This one tastes like grass trimmings.
Dr. Borden: There you go. Number one, you remember what grass trimmings taste like. And two, you figured out you're a coffee person. You're not helpless. We're defined by our choices. You just don't remember yours. So, keep trying new things. See what your body remembers. Or make new choices. The more you make, the less helpless you'll feel. Even if nothing ever comes back you can still find yourself.

It's well produced with ok actors, but they can only do so much. The writing is just atrocious. And the character's actions have zero basis in reality.
The beats are unbelievably predictable and the supposed "mystery" of it only serves to give an excuse to the episodic delivery that broadcast TV demands.
This was recommended to us by multiple friends and I can not for the life of me think what we did to them that warrants this sort of treatment. I am so sorry guys, please don't inflict this level of mediocrity on us again.
