The show clearly has a thing about cool old movies, as in episode 4 there's a big reference to Steve McQueen classic Bullitt. In that episode we see a chase scene between Dinah Madani and Frank that echoes the infamous chase in Bullitt, including the way the sound of the muslce cars' engines dominate the soundscape.

It's lampshaded before that when Madani's superior officer refers to her as "going all Steve McQueen", and on top of that Madani drives a '68 Mustang just as Bullitt did.
