History Series / YourHonor

* AllForNothing: [[spoiler:Michael spends the whole series trying to save his son from getting murdered, only for Adam to get murdered by accident -- by a relative of the boy that he framed, no less. In the second season, to hurt Michael, Jimmy Baxter tells Michael that he never would have tried to kill Adam over an accident anyway, but Baxter immediately tells a subordinate that he's just lied]].

* HollywoodAtheist: Practically {{inverted}} with Fia Baxter, who's an atheist (thus resistant to [[spoiler:having her son baptized]]), but easily the nicest of her family (who are mostly criminals) and admits she ''hopes'' Heaven exist but [[CessationOfExistence doesn't believe there's an afterlife]]. Her mother doesn't like this view one bit, and insists that she's ''not'' an atheist no matter what Fia says. She and Fia's dad are Catholic, but also totally fine with committing crimes, including murder. Michael also turns out to be irreligious, and though he does bad things is far better than them as well.

* EvenEvilHasStandards: Jimmy is a ruthless gangster who's very willing to murder. However, he refuses to deal drugs, saying it isn't the business he's in. Jimmy also claims that [[spoiler:he wouldn't have killed Adam in retaliation for Rocco's death, saying that Adam was a boy, and it was an accident. We'll never know the truth, however]].

* InternalReveal: Fia doesn't learn until the end of the series that Adam is the one who had killed her little brother Rocca. She's quite upset by this, chewing both her family and Adam's father Michael out for the fact they never told her, particularly since she'd [[spoiler:dated Adam while in the dark on this, giving birth to a son by him too whom she'd named after her brother]].

* KarmaHoudini: [[spoiler:Carlo]] does not suffer any negative repercussions over his crimes after Season 1.

* LadyMacBeth: Jimmy is a cautious and sensible crimelord while his wife Gina is the one pushing him to be more aggressive and violent.

* TheQueenpin: Big Mo is a female crime boss and rival to Jimmy Baxter in New Orleans.

* TheSyndicate: Desire, an African-American gang, and the Baxter family (with white members) control New Orleans' organized crime, vying for dominance.

The series was initially announced as a miniseries. In August 2021, however, Showtime confirmed that the series has been renewed for a second and final season.

* AccidentalMurder: The plot is kickstarted by Adam killing Rocco accidentally, whose father turns out to be mob boss and thus he naturally fears for his life as a result.

* KarmaHoudini: [[spoiler:Carlo]] does not suffer any negative repercussions.

* KillerCop: It turns out Michael's wife Robin was murdered for investigating gangland killings which were actually committed by cops. One of the cops involved did it to cover this up. It turns out some moonlighted in [[ProfessionalKiller murder for hire]] while a GangWar went on.
