** Tinny (to some - also qualified initially as {{the load}}). Has grown/dealt marijuana (which could have landed Jake/Malachy in ''serious'' trouble if she'd been caught), is a completely manipulative witch to Mal, Rose and Jake in the beginning (who are all honestly trying to help), blatantly uses Des, finally gets a chance to go to England and [[spoiler:seems to have just thrown it away]], etc. She actually ''did'' go to England, she [[spoiler:just couldn't crack it and came back.]] She also got very {{tsundere}} over Des' relationship with Chandra, eventually culminating in his [[spoiler:breaking up with her]], and is showing hints of {{yandere}}-ness. Thankfully, she's been RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap as of season four.

** Sloan has been getting a lot of hate from fans lately who feel she's taking over the show. She came out of nowhere, was revealed to be [[spoiler:Jake's daughter - although it turns out she was simply conning him]], is gorgeous, smart, sarcastic... One reviewer commented that the show seemed to be becoming "Republic of Sloan". There are also complaints that she seems to be the ReplacementScrappy to Tinny, as she shares a lot of similarities to Tinny in the early seasons. [[spoiler:Fans were also unhappy as to how her arc ended - see AssPull above.]]
* SpecialEffectFailure: A couple of times in season five in particular, the usage of a green screen during some stunts is very obvious, and pay close attention to when Jake is talking on his iPhone - you can tell it's on the home screen or actually locked (you can see the white "slide to unlock" bar, if it were in call mode, there would be a red "hang up/end call" button instead).
