每集开始都号称基于真实的故事，但实际上这就是一个编出来的故事，根据科恩兄弟的说法：
“There are actually two little elements in the story that were based on actual incidents,” Joel Coen told HuffPost.“One of them is the fact that there was a guy, I believe in the ‘60s or ‘70s, who was gumming up serial numbers for cars and defrauding the General Motors Finance Corporation. There was no kidnapping. There was no murder. It was a guy defrauding the GM Finance Corporation at some point.”
He continued, “The other thing based on something real: There was a murder in Connecticut, where a man killed his wife and disposed of the body — put her into a wood chipper. But beyond that, the story is made up.”
注意到没有，只有两小点是真实的！
