The series:

  • Foe Yay Shipping: Although McCauley obviously dislikes Jimmy and just wants to do her job, chewing him out when he flirts with her, some viewers can't help enjoying how it comes across as Belligerent Sexual Tension. Not helped by scenes like her telling him to pretend she's his girlfriend whenever she visits him at the Springfield prison, and to do "whatever it takes" to sell the act, including making out with her and grabbing her ass.
  • Harsher in Hindsight: Big Jim's failing health and fragility following Ray Liotta's death in May 2022, just before the series aired, and Taron Egerton's discussion of his illness during filming.
  • One-Scene Wonder: Lee Tergesen as a crazed drug dealer in the first episode.
  • The Woobie: Big Jim. He's a loving father and former lawman who finds out that his son is a drug dealer and watches him be sentenced to ten years in prison for it. He blames himself for it and continuously beats himself up over it, and the stress causes him to have a stroke that leaves him partially paralyzed.
