* AnachronismStew: The show is set thirty years after the miners' strike ended, putting it around 2014 or 2015, but Cindy Jackson's little brother is shown playing on a Platform/NintendoSwitch--which didn't come out until 2017.

!! Tropes
* TheEighties: There are constant flashbacks to the 1980s, during the miners' strike of 1984.
* BecomingTheMask: [[spoiler:Daphne genuinely fell in love and chose to stay in Nottingham after the operation ended.]]
* DeadStarWalking: Both Joanne Froggatt and Alun Armstrong.
* DrivenToSuicide: Raggett commits suicide via a BoomHeadshot.
* LegacySeeker: [[spoiler:Raggett]] commits suicide to preserve his legacy rather than being questioned about the undercover operation.
* PatchedTogetherFromTheHeadlines: Subverted. As wild as it is, the two manhunts that happened in real-life really did happen only a short time apart and the investigations were simultaneous.
* RedemptionEqualsDeath: [[spoiler:After (albeit impulsively) murdering his daughter-in-law, Andy leaves a guilty and genuinely remorseful message, before being immediately killed by a crossbow bolt to the back of the head.]]
* SamusIsAGirl: [[spoiler:The undercover cop is constantly described as a man and gendered male -- but it's actually Daphne.]]
* UnrelatedInTheAdaptation: Kinda. [[spoiler:The murderer in real-life killed his newlywed daughter; in this, the murderer is her father-in-law.]]
* VeryLooselyBasedOnATrueStory: Of [[https://www.nottinghampost.com/news/history/terry-rodgers-chanel-taylor-how-3233510 Terry Rodger's murder of his daughter Chanel]] and [[https://www.mirror.co.uk/tv/tv-news/sherwood-real-life-grisly-crossbow-27227597 Keith Frogson's murder]], though many, many details are changed.
* VillainsDyingGrace: Another possible interpretation of [[spoiler:Andy's]] death is this.
