History YMMV / Raw

* MoralEventHorizon: Alex has crossed it long ago, considering [[spoiler:her method to "find her food" (jumping in front of cars so that the passengers are killed in the ensuing accident and she can "help herself").]]

* HilariousInHindsight: The show actually features two eventual ''Series/OnceUponATime'' cast members. Creator/LiamGarrigan, who plays Bobby, would go on to play King Arthur. Creator/AmyManson, who plays Zoe in Season 5, would play [[{{WesternAnimation/Brave}} Merida]]. Both amusingly debuted in the same season of ''OUAT'', but never interacted on ''Raw''.

** Emma moved from Raw to ''Series/TheFall''.

* ScrewedByTheNetwork: Despite being fairly strong on the ratings, RTE has pulled the plug, due to budget concerns. Still, there's plenty of weaker shows that could have been axed instead. It was rumoured that the axe was due to RTE wanting to put more money into ''Series/LoveHate''.

* TheScrappy:
** Anthony, Jojo's husband in season 5. While technically an antagonist, he's disliked for his awful accent and cliched plot.
** Maeve was this in season 2. Fans mellowed and warmed to her in later seasons.

* AcceptableTargets:
** Non-Irish characters to a slightly uncomfortable degree. Tanya, Max and Selena (British) are all {{Jerkass}}es (the latter being a scammer as well). Bobby isn't a jerkass but still a shameless womanizer and presented as the 'wrong' man for Jojo instead of NiceGuy Dylan (Irish). The Australian Geoff is loud and abusive (though eventually softened through CharacterDevelopment). It seems Pavel is the only one shown to be sensible and responsible. While the Irish characters are flawed, they're usually shown to be more down to earth.
** Anthony takes the cake. He's a HateSink abusive husband who's controlling and trying to prevent Jojo from seeing her friends or family. Of course he's American.

** Although the show was always an ensemble, Jojo was really just a side character in Season 1. Charlene [=McKenna=]'s charisma led to her taking a bigger role for the remainder of the series.

* WhatAnIdiot:
** Dylan wants a chef to work at his bar. He walks right past Tiny and Richard, who've just been fired, to ask Shane if he wants to leave his job in a restaurant to work in a bar. Sure, Richard's a bit of a klutz, but between him and Tiny, surely one of them could've handled bar food.
** Ditto for when Fiona fires Richard and Tiny. Only two episodes earlier Ray had managed to nag Fiona into hiring him and thus stretching the budget. It never crosses her mind that he's the dead weight.

* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: Philip actually does demonstrate some very mild symptoms of Asperger's Syndrome such as trouble making small talk, awkward in social situations, keeps private lists written around. If he does turn out to have it it'll be one of the more accurate portrayals of the condition in the media.

** Rebecca - who didn't appear past Season 1 - was played by Dominique [=McElligot=] - who the next year starred in the critically acclaimed ''{{Film/Moon}}'' and got a role in ''Main/HouseOfCards''.

* EnsembleDarkhorse: Fiona's sister Emma. Many fans expected her to be a BrattyHalfPint and were surprised to find her so likable.

** Ditto for when Fiona fires Richard and Tiny. Only two episodes earlier Ray had managed to nag Fiona into hiring him and thus stretching the budget. It never crosses her mind that he's the dead weight.

* {{Narm}}: The scenes between Kate and Fiona in Season 2. They meet in the park talking shadily about something vague, that has the same seriousness as murder or some major crime. Turns out she just had a fling with her husband.

* SophomoreSlump: Season 2 is viewed as the weakest, due to the sudden LighterInSofter tone that the writers clearly couldn't handle at the time. The episodes had some rather odd plots - making Dylan very mysterious only for the reveal to be that he works a second job, revealing he has a daughter who never gets seen or mentioned again afterwards etc. The low point was the {{Melodrama}} hyping up something shady between Fiona and Kate, which was given the kind of {{Foreshadowing}} usually reserved for murder or something sensational. Turns out Kate just kissed her husband once. Season 3 got better at handling the drama.

* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: New guy Philip actually does demonstrate some very mild symptoms of Asperger's Syndrome such as trouble making small talk, awkward in social situations, keeps private lists written around.

* WhatTheHellIsThatAccent: Anthony from season 5. He's supposed to be American but he flitters between sounding like a drunk guy trying to be Texan or a South African with a headcold.

* EnsembleDarkhorse: Fiona's sister Emma. Many fans expected her to be a BrattyHalfPint and were surprised to find her so likeable.
* FixerSue: Ray in the third season. Then subverted when it turns out how much trouble he's in.
** Fiona in a way acts as this in her first episode, managing to open the restaurant back up and keep it in order. For the rest of the series she's written more realistically.

* UnfortunateImplications: Two from the second season. Fiona's black husband cheated on her with her sister while [=JoJo=] spurns British Bobby's advances in favour of Irish Dylan. The show doesn't seem to like international coupling much.
** However, there is Pavel and Geoff, neither are whom are Irish. Though this does seem to suggest that the foreigners can get it on with each other as long as they stay away from the Irish people. Further exemplified by having Pavel choose between Irish Jack and Aussie Geoff. [[spoiler: He chooses Geoff]].
** And rounding up these implications is Jojo's dickhead of a husband Anthony. He's a complete HateSink and of course he's American. Though his accent is so bad, he could be from anywhere.
