* DarknessInducedAudienceApathy: The sordid story of two unfaithful persons who break-up their own families, are {{Unreliable Narrator}}s and self-delusional to a certain degree makes it all hardly relatable at times.



* TheWoobie: Helen, an amiable and accommodating woman who finds herself with a broken family overnight with little to no fault of her own. Deconstructed in later seasons when Helen starts to appear more and more as a ControlFreak who is not a perfect person either.

Added DiffLines:

* NightmareFuel: Noah's memories of the sexual encounter with Helen in season 3. From her point of view she's simply nurturing a broken, adled man and telling him he always has a place with his family, culminating in a touching, romantic sex scene. From Noah's point of view, Helen is extremely manipulative, basically winning him to her side with drugs and guilting him, and almost seems to get off on the thought of having sex with a murderer. As with most scenes, the truth probably lies somewhere in the middle.
-->'''Helen:''' I know who you ''really'' are.
