{{tropelist}}
=== Provides examples of the following tropes: ===
* [[Aborted Arc]]: Wes's Krulik's past and motives for going after Ellen: it's implied in season two that he both has his own personal interest in hurting Frobisher, as well as his own past (implied to be a former cop for whom Rick Messler was blackmailing to get him to keep an eye on Ellen).
* [[Advertised Extra]]: Marcia Gay Harden as Claire Maddox in Season 2 only appears in 7 out of 13 episodes.
Line 149 ⟶ 148:
* [[Suspiciously Idle Officers]]: {{spoiler|Detective Rick Messer}}, big time. Does he even ''have'' any actual duties? In Season 2, this is justified for the {{spoiler|FBI agent on Dave Pell's payroll}}, because it's explained that his supervisor is in on the conspiracy.
* [[Throwing the Fight]]: Patty occasionally does this, in order to get her opponents to tip their hand.
* [[Took a Level Inin Badass]]: Ellen.
* [[Twist Ending]]: Several plot threads seem to point to one solution then out of the blue will head for another, completely unexpected resolution. One of the reasons why critics loved it.
* [[The Ugly GuysGuy's Hot Daughter]]: With inverted gender roles for Patty Hewes and her son.
* [[The Un-Reveal]]: The contents of David's wedding gift to Ellen.
* [[Villain with Good Publicity]]: {{spoiler|Rick Messer}}'s public image is that of an exemplary police officer. [[Complete Monster|He's anything but.]]
Line 158 ⟶ 157:
* [[Worthy Opponent]]: Ray Fiske, during Season 1.
* [[Wrongful Accusation Insurance]]: Ellen apparently has some.
* [[You! Get Me Coffee!]]: Patty likes to do this to her employees, just to torture them.
