Line 52 ⟶ 51:
* [[Signs of Disrepair]]: The "n" on the local Speakeasy's sign burned out in the 50s, and the ''Undertown'' has been known as the ''Undertow'' ever since.
* [[Sinister Minister]]: Father Mike, who indoctrinates young men as soldiers in a war on crime.
* [[Show Within a Show]]: ''Frank Kafka, P.I.'', written by Jacob K., a [[Shout -Out]] to [[Franz Kafka]] and his type of stories.
* [[Sympathetic POV]]: Considering the [[Exactly What It Says Onon the Tin|series title]], it's unsurprising that most of its cast has [[Dark and Troubled Past|pasts blackened by crime and violence]], but most of them are portrayed as making [[I Did What I Had to Do|hard choices]] in difficult situations. Amazingly, Teeg Lawless, Tracy and Ricky's violent, alcoholic thug of a father, is referred to as a [[Complete Monster]] by everyone who knows him, but the story that focuses on him depicts him as a tragic figure, hopelessly out of control in his life and in constant pain without understanding why.
* [[Technical Pacifist]]: Leo is by no means a pacifist, but he dislikes guns and refuses to work with them. As he puts it, "And I won't work with people who don't use their brains before their bullets..."
* [[Villain Episode]]: Teeg's chapter in ''The Dead And The Dying''.
