Episode society and alternative versions [edit]
Confusingly, RTL in Deutschland, M6 in France and TNT in the U.Southward., have all aired the start-flavour episodes in different orders, as compared to those shown by HBO/SE1 in Canada and Channel 5 in the UK, which have been shown sequentially, as detailed beneath:
| Episode | Prod. code[17] | Canada, Dutch, Netflix, et al. | French | High german | U.Southward. | UK |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| "Trojan Horsepower" | 112 | 1 | two | 7 | one | 1 |
| "Payback" | 106 | 2 | 12 | v | 6 | 2 |
| "The General'due south Daughter" (Pilot) | 101 | three | 1 | 1 | ix | 3 |
| "Harvest" | 104 | 4 | three | 2 | 7 | 4 |
| "Expressionless Drop" | 108 | 5 | iv | 4 | 2 | five |
| "Hot Ice" | 109 | 6 | 9 | 8 | 3 | vi |
| "Give the Guy a Paw" | 110 | 7 | 10 | xi | eleven | 7 |
| "Sharks" | 103 | eight | v | six | 4 | viii |
| "Metropolis of Dearest" | 107 | ix | 7 | 9 | 10 | 9 |
| "The Switch" | 105 | ten | viii | 3 | 8 | 10 |
| "12 Hours" | 102 | 11 | 6 | 12 | 5 | 11 |
| "Cherchez la Femme" | 111 | 12 | 11 | 10 | 12 | 12 |
Information technology is unclear at this betoken what the "proper", intended gild for the episodes is. Based on the chronology of events, the Canadian release most probable carries the correct guild of episodes.[ original research? ] This is further supported past the fact that Flemish channel 2BE, Dutch channel RTL five, and Netflix as well air the episodes according to the Canadian order.[18] The German home video release presents the episodes as they were broadcast on RTL, adding the ii unaired episodes ("Give the Guy a Hand" and "12 Hours") as episodes 11 and 12 respectively. It is unknown what order the forthcoming French and potential North American home video releases will reflect. Information technology is however sure that unlike other shows, product order should not be followed, equally "Trojan Horsepower" was the last episode to be shot yet features the first meeting between Frank and Juliette, two characters who collaborate in other episodes, and is also the episode where Frank first sees the cherry Audi R8 which appears in virtually later on episodes. "Trojan Horsepower" served every bit the pilot episode in Canada and the United States, the 2d episode in French republic and the seventh in Germany; the latter two countries both aired "The General'south Daughter" equally the pilot episode, which had in fact been announced in the media as the airplane pilot when production started.[ commendation needed ]
In addition, at to the lowest degree some episodes reportedly have three different edits depending on the country of circulate.[19]
