* TooBleakStoppedCaring: About season 3 and four (particularly four), a running complaint has been the fact every single good person in the show ''dies horribly and pointlessly'' while the bad people thrive and triumph. By the fourth season the show's ratings actually started to fall due to this, particularly with Elam's death.

* AuthorsSavingThrow: The first season, and overall premise of the show, were accused by some of buying into [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lost_Cause_of_the_Confederacy Lost Cause]] rhetoric -- the [[NobleConfederateSoldier "honorable Southern veteran"]] who was against slavery but bravely fought for the Confederacy anyway out of honor, hunting down the brutal, undisciplined "Yankee hordes" who murdered his family. In later seasons, plot and character developments pushed back against this, such as Bohannon admitting he never actually freed his slaves, multiple characters openly discussing the centrality of slavery to the Confederate cause and the Confederacy's wartime atrocities, and the introduction of several decidedly unsympathetic Confederate characters like Sidney Snow or the train robbers.

* CosmicDeadline: The fifth season suffered from this, with Bohannon's rapid switch from Union Pacific to Central Pacific, the sudden end of the Naomi plot, and the heavily compressed plot involving Mei and Chang. It's been suggested that there was meant to be a sixth season that was eventually cancelled due to declining ratings.
