* DarknessInducedAudienceApathy: The entire cast is so morally wretched and corrupt, with no one striving to be better or to work for the benefit of Chicago, instead just seizing power, that it's hard for audiences to care what happens in the election or with the politics.

* TheWoobie: In this series it's a relative term, but Mona and Emma qualify.
** Mona knew Chicago politics would be rough, but not that rough. Her main goal is to improve Lennox Gardens, her community. For this she gets completely taken advantage of by Tom, has her privacy invaded, is the fall guy to Lennox Gardens residences, has her family threatened, and is forced to leave town.
** Emma is raised by two parents who put their political ambitions ahead of her. As a result she develops, then kicks, a drug habit and tries to redeem herself by running a clinic for the disadvantaged. Her mother doesn't even pretend like she cares about her and her father throws her under the bus to save his own ass.

* LoveToHate[=/=]CrossesTheLineTwice: Nobody would want a morally bankrupt official like Kane, a criminal past redemption, as mayor in real life, yet some of his relatively harmless maneuvers and shenanigans are so sleazy, disreputable ''and'' sheer effective that they are funny. When he wins a battle, it's often [[CurbStompBattle awesome and terrifying]] at the same time.

Needs to be brought through the Magnificent Bastard cleanup thread.


* MagnificentBastard: Kane, emphasis on [[ManipulativeBastard bastard]]. He knows [[TheChessmaster every trick in the book]], and then some more of his own invention. Played superbly by Kelsey Grammer.
