1	* AngstWhatAngst: While Hannah is repeatedly shown grieving her daughter, she comes off as oddly indifferent towards the death of her husband, who was DrivenToSuicide by the loss of his wife and child.
2	* AntiClimaxBoss:
3	** The show ended before Top Dollar could make a full and proper reappearance as a Snake. In his sole post-resurrection episode, he was present only as a disembodied voice that gets thwarted by ThePowerOfLove.
4	** Similarly, the series being CutShort meant that Eric also never got to have a final showdown with Frederick Balsam, who was last seen being handcuffed to a car by Albrecht.
5	* BigLippedAlligatorMoment:
6	** Eric's weird vision of himself and Shelly dancing in Victorian attire to "My Bonnie" by The Painkillers in "The Road Not Taken."
7	---> '''Eric:''' You know where I was, right before I found you?\
8	'''Hannah:''' I hope someplace better.\
9	'''Eric:''' I went back to a forest where Shelly and I had been. [[LampshadeHanging Things got real strange]].
10	** Eric's OffscreenTeleportation in "Brother's Keeper." While he was always [[StealthHiBye sneaky]], here it's just plain Over-the-Top.
11	* CompleteMonster: See [[Monster/TheCrow here]].
12	* {{Narm}}: Hannah's dramatic and entirely gratuitous posing in "Birds of a Feather."
13	* SoOkayItsAverage: As noted below, the show was seen as a step or several down from [[Film/TheCrow1994 the film]] and [[ComicBook/TheCrow the original comic]]. On the other hand, it did garner decent ratings and reviews, and is looked upon more favorably than subsequent ''[[Franchise/TheCrow Crow]]'' media like ''[[Film/TheCrowWickedPrayer Wicked Prayer]]''.
14	* {{Squick}}: Eric slowly pushing a pencil [[ImpaledPalm through his palm]] in "The People vs. Eric Draven."
15	* TheyChangedItNowItSucks: The LighterAndSofter approach turned Eric into a fairly standard superhero. He has a secret identity complete with a normal civilian life, does "costume changes" into his superhero persona (which is supernatural coloring rather than makeup now), has his [[TagalongKid plucky kid sidekick]] and his buddy in the police force to feed him info, and [[ThouShaltNotKill he's supposed to avoid killing]]. ''This is totally the opposite of everything that happens in the film and the comics.''
16	* UnintentionallyUnsympathetic: Funboy still comes off as a sleazy asshole even after being scared straight by Eric, so it's a bit difficult to feel too much pity for him when he's murdered by the unbound Crow in "A Gathering Storm."
