* HarsherInHindsight: The season presents death as being not only a natural part of life, but also an important one -- and in some cases preferable to prolonging an existence mired in agony. Russell T Davies's partner was diagnosed with a brain tumor in the middle of production, placing his life in serious jeopardy and requiring Davies to abandon the series midway through.

* IdiotPlot:
** Jack risks capture twice to appeal to Oswald Danes' better nature in hopes that the CompleteMonster will do the right thing on the word of Jack, a stranger, just because. While a first attempt might make sense just to leave no stone unturned, by the second time it should have been obvious that Oswald is on Phicorp's side for as long as it is on his.
** When Vera and Rex each [[spoiler: find out about the ovens in turn]], their reaction is to start yelling at the middle manager in charge of one and threatening him with legal and personal consequences. This accomplishes nothing good but leads to a lot of pain and suffering for them.
** Gwen's plan to get her father out of a Category 1 facility is as follows: Get a "job" as a nurse with little knowledge of medicine, find father, ???, drive out with Rhys. Needless to say, it fails.
** The bad guys are pretty dumb too. To end worldwide immortality, Rex and Jack need to bleed simultaneously in two specific places. (ItMakesSenseInContext... more or less.) They are in position but cornered by the bad guys. Their only response is to wave guns, threaten, and force a FriendOrIdolDecision. It never even occurs to the bad guys to try to restrain them by nonlethal means.
** The Three Families saying The Miracle was just "a dry run" and [[SequelHook switching to "Plan B" when Torchwood finally stops them]]. '''...Really?''' Leaving all the people on Earth completely unable to die for about 8 months was just a lark?
** Oswald is able to get out of prison by threatening to sue for his death sentence already having been served. However, before his interview he's shown desperately cleaning out a guest buffet at the TV Station, and doesn't know that he should be paid for his appearances. Nobody in the government would be interested in listening to the complaints of a prisoner who can't afford a fleet of lawyers.
** The premise of the entire ''Miracle Day'' series is caustically [[LampshadeHanging lampshaded]] by Rex:
-->'''Rex''': You telling me the whole world got screwed because two gay guys had a hissy fit?
** Jack risks capture twice to appeal to Oswald Danes' better nature in hopes that the CompleteMonster will do the right thing on the word of Jack, a stranger, just because.

The adjusted section is a little overly optimistic. History shows that very bad people have gotten massive cults built around them.

** Oswald instantly gets released by threatening to sue for his death sentence already having been served, as if any jury would side with him. He also gets a ludicrous fanbase of people calling for his forgiveness after a single interview. Keep in mind this is a guy who ''raped and murdered a little girl'', and his only explanation was "She should have run faster."
