* Being a [[SpiritualSuccessor Spiritual Predecessor]] to ''Series/TheWire'', ''Series/HomicideLifeOnTheStreet'' prominently featured this. The cops were on the side of the law, but they were quite flawed and at times unlikable. Meanwhile, even the worst of the murderers they pursued often had sympathetic or humanizing traits. It verged into GrayAndBlackMorality at times, especially when [[BigBad Luther Mahoney]] was involved.

* ''Series/{{Imposters}}'': Maddie is a con artist who bilked all of her past spouses. When three team up to track her down however they use cons for money, with the question about how different the trio are from her being repeatedly raised. Maddie is not entirely bad either and feels obvious guilt at her crimes, while her past spouses start to enjoy their cons. Her associates Max and Sally aren't entirely bad either. The Doctor is the worst. Even he [[EvenEvilHasLovedOnes takes cares of his father though]].

* ''Series/MakoMermaidsAnH2OAdventure'': The first season's conflict is between a trio of mermaids who have lost their pod and their home because a human boy turned into a merman on their watch without them being able to do a thing about it, and said human boy-turned-merman unwitting about the drama he started in the mermaid world just by existing. On the flipside, the mermaid trio, Lyla and Nixie particularly, look down on humans and resort to blackmailing an older mermaid who lives a comfortable life on land in exchange for a safe haven. Meanwhile, Zac and Cam begin acting like frat bros and abuse Zac's new superpowers for laughs, and it soon becomes apparent the mermaids' fear of Zac is justified when his [[{{Lunacy}} moonspells]] cause him to attack them unprovoked.

** ''Series/HouseOfTheDragon'': The conflict between Rhaenyra, Alicent, and their respective supporters grants neither side the moral high ground. While Rhaenyra is shown to be shortsighted and arrogant, Alicent can be equally selfish and her family (with the initial exception of her) have been trying to usurp Rhaenyra from the get-go. Both sides have members who will commit atrocities to advance their own interests (Daemon Targaryen and Larys Strong above all), with even the children getting in on the feud.
