YMMV / Wire in the Blood

• Complete Monster: See here.
• Nightmare Fuel: Every single episode has something terrifying in it, as do the books. It's hard to tell which is worse, seeing the horrible things happen, or reading about them in excruciating detail.
• TearJerker: Quite a few, although notable is the episode "Right To Silence", where a kid who was living on the streets as a homeless junkie finally manages to clean up and go home, calling out for his father and eventually curling up on his bed, holding onto his dad's jumper and crying like a small child. Of course, unknown to him, his father has just been arrested for brutally murdering the men who were using and prostituting his son.
• Values Dissonance: Angelica Bain, the killer of 'The Mermaids Singing', is believed to be a man. When she holds Tony hostage, she's revealed to be a pre-op MtF transperson. Tony believes she's actually a Depraved Homosexual man, but she's played as a deeply disturbing sadist and a Sissy Villain. The depiction of anti-trans stereotypes has not aged well despite the serious starting after the beginning of the millenium.
