Line 16:
* [[Comedic Sociopathy]] - The other kind.
* [[Crime Time TV]] - Self-explanatory.
* [[Very Loosely Based Onon a True Story]] - Real life experiences of the author, as well as news stories, were the basis of the drama.
* [[The Don]] - Harry Montebello
* [[Even Evil Has Standards]] - Harry is AOK at drug-dealing and creative murder, but draws the line at arranged marriage for his daughter, and dealing in sex-slaves.
Line 22:
* [[Family Values Villain]] - Again, Harry has these tendencies.
* [[Generic Ethnic Crime Gang]] - Torres Strait Islander family crime syndicate (although Harry is Maltese-British-Australian, his wife and children (all adopted) are of the same ethnicity).
* [[Hair -Trigger Temper]] - Noel Montebello's biggest flaw.
* [[Pet the Dog]] - Harry really genuinely cares about his daughter, which makes him seem less of a bastard. He also really cares about his actual little dog.
* [[Precision F -Strike]] - Mostly delivered by Harry.
* [[Scenery Porn]] - The Torres Strait, as depicted on the show, is beautiful (if dangerous), which can be seen clearly [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=881cTdf-ll8 in the opener.]
* [[Surrounded By Idiots]] - Harry appears to see his sons this way.
