It stars Creator/IdrisElba, Freida Pinto, Creator/RoryKinnear and Babou Ceesay. Jas (Pinto) and Marcus (Ceesay) are members of the British Black Panthers, working now to politically educate black prisoners. Due to facing high unemployment and police brutality, many black and Asian Britons are angry at the government.

* RaceLift: Critics have accused the series of [[InvokedTrope invoking]] this by making Jas South Asian and not black. Actual members of the British Black Panthers have defended the show, however, saying Black Panthers then were also often South Asian (women included) and "black" then was used as an umbrella term for both.

* WesternTerrorists: The faction of British Black Panthers Jas and Marcus are with, plus the German Marxist group they seek help from. Also a member of the Quebecois separatist/Marxist FLQ is introduced.
* YourCheatingHeart: Pence is having an affair with his black informant, and they have a son.

* AmoralAfrikaner: Pence is an Afrikaner policeman whom the British police hired to help break up black radical groups (no doubt because of his experience doing this in South Africa). He shows the same ruthless nature as usual, though he's also involved with a black woman.
