In a few episodes, characters say “OK”

The opening theme song changes from season to season to reflect the events of the story
In the first half of the second season (which is set in France), some of the lyrics are in French.

Season 3 has added tribal drums, as much of the season is set in the West Indies.

I loved the entire series and loved it!
I initially thought it was a show aimed at women only, but I was wrong. There’s something for everyone on this show, and I’m so glad I finally gave it a chance, as it’s become one of my favorite shows!
