A map of Romania can be seen in Season 1, Episode 2 and the vast majority of the supporting cast shown in the end credits is Romanian.
In 2015, Life on Top was featured in Under the Gun Theater's performance of Porn Minus Porn, a comedy show where actors parody softcore porn by cold reading scripts.[4]
