The first episode uses "Quiet" by MILCK as Tandy's theme, which perfectly encapsulates how lonely she is.
The season finale makes fantastic use of various arrangements of Styx's Come Sail Away, finishing off with a full cover by Olivia Holt.
Complete Monster: Season 2: D'Spayre, real name Andre Deschaine, was once an aspiring jazz musician who received powers from the Roxxon oil rig explosion, which allowed him to remove his headache pain by feeding off the despair of others. To cultivate this despair, he manipulates a nurse named Avandalia "Lia" Dewan into abandoning her life for him, and together they cultivate a sexual slavery ring under the guise of a community support group for abuse victims, using the group to find more victims. Once Ty and Tandy destroy the ring, D'Spayre feeds off Avandalia one more time, and abandons her barely-living body on the side of the road. After visiting the voodoo priestess Chantelle, who he later murders, D'Spayre uses his powers to rise to godhood, abducting people from across New Orleans to his Pocket Dimension so he can feed off their despair forever. While on the surface a helpful community support worker, D'Spayre is truly a sociopathic monster who inflicts unimaginable horrors on anyone who isn't himself in order to fuel his own power.
Die for Our Ship: Evita. Ty/Tandy shippers talk about her like she's the devil incarnate, suspecting she's somehow involved with the bad guys or will betray Tyrone, or just criticise her for pushing herself on him by... trying to be friendly and offering support for his troubles. One common justification is to bring up how anyone defending her character/relationship with Tyrone are "ignorant of the comics lore" and Ty/Tandy are meant to be together. This is despite the fact that the two aren't a couple in the comics half of the time (being Platonic Life-Partners mixed with Platonic Writing, Romantic Reading and Unresolved Sexual Tension.) However, recently any ambiguity regarding their relationship in comics has been cleared up with the reveal that they had been dating canonically on and off during the duration of their partnership. The latest arc has ended with them breaking up with their current partners, after realizing that no matter what they were always meant to be together. If the show follows suit remains to be seen.
Jerkass Woobie: Tandy is a thief and a con woman who steals from anyone she can, but primarily from the rich, thanks to resentment over their wealth. That doesn't stop her gaining sympathy thanks to just how utterly brutal her life became when she was incredibly young and how much crap she has to deal with just getting by, and even her most unsympathetic moments earn pity thanks to being motivated by her fears. On top of that, despite targeting the very wealthy, it's shown that she can only just barely afford to get by on that; given her only other options in her position would be far less profitable, one can hardly blame her.
Misaimed Fandom: A large part of the fanbase seemed to be obsessed with that glorious moment the two leads would finally, actually get together, any day now! They can't really be blamed since the marketing apparently pushed this romance angle rather hard. For anyone who watched the show for what it actually put on screen with no other expectations though, there is very little sign the two are supposed to be a romantic couple. It's actually a fairly refreshing portrayal of compatible sexuality teenagers becoming friends as close as family who don't inevitably hook up. There are looks of admiration, joking banter, and emotional support - in other words, those things you do with people you respect, enjoy spending time around, and care for deeply; you know, close friends. Actual flirtation or sexual interest is basically never expressed, nor is there any hesitation about relationships with other people. If after the show's two full seasons, the grand romantic moment was...holding hands to comfort each other as they both make a dramatic change in their lives, we may have to accept that the show spent so much time developing deep characterization, that it just flat out never got around to making it about a central coupling at all.
Narm: Chantelle's narration in the Season 1 finale mostly has a perfectly neutral accent, except whenever she says the city's name as a heavily accented "N'Awlins," making her come off like a poser trying to sound like they're from the place.
Shocking Moments: O'Reilly and Mayhem are actually two separate people, due to the former's exposure to Lightforce and Darkforce energies. Many were shocked at this plot twist, as they were under the assumption from promotional materials that Mayhem was a split personality instead.
Slow-Paced Beginning: What seems to be the biggest complaint about the first season is that it takes a while to actually get going, similarly to the opening season of Jessica Jones (2015).
Special Effects Failure: The effects for Tandy's light daggers are a bit dodgy. Though the sneak peek shows the effects have improved somewhat.
Unintentionally Unsympathetic: While Tandy did have a hard life, some viewers think the cruel way she treats many people close to her erases any kind of sympathy, as she is simply too self-centered without much regard for the pain other people might have.
as a metaphor for the decline in New Orleans's fortunes. It's mostly associated with honeybees (an import from Europe), but American bumblebees are affected, too
