Blackpool: Difference between revisions

This show provides examples of:

* {{spoiler|[[Accidental Murder]]}}

* [[Asshole Victim]]

* [[Bad Boss]]: D.I. Carlisle. {{spoiler|In order to stop Blythe from arresting a man they both think committed murder, he blackmails Blythe by threatening to tell their superiors the poor boy is ''taking drugs''.}} Not to mention all the other, ahem, ''morally questionable'' things he does throughout the series...

* [[Frame Up]]: {{spoiler|Carlisle threatens to do this to D.C. Blythe if he doesn't cooperate.}}

* [[Framing the Guilty Party]]: Carlisle tries to do this to Ripley through Hallworth (the protester). {{spoiler|Turns out to be a subversion, considering Ripley was actually innocent.}}

* [[Grey and Grey Morality]]: Very much so. {{spoiler|Ripley Holden, initially a violent, vulgar bully, turns out to be a vulgar bully who hasn't committed any of the violent crimes he's been accused of, and who genuinely loves his family and does what's best for them. Carlisle, on the other hand, tries to do some very questionable things.}}

* [[Hooker With a Heart of Gold]]

* [[Love Makes You Evil]]: {{spoiler|Carlisle}} has a mild case of this.

* [[Manipulative Bastard]]: Carlisle, although he's an unusually sweet-natured example.

* [[Modesty Bedsheet]]

* [[Moral Guardians]]: Hallworth.
