History Series / HitAndMiss

* ParentalAbandonment: Wendy dies and leaves her four kids alone, as none of their fathers were involved. Mia, who'd fathered Ryan while involved with her but wasn't aware before of her son (who's now [[UsefulNotes/{{Transgender}} transitioning]]) is told and steps up to raise them, sparking the plot. Riley, the oldest, had taken care of her younger siblings already though.

* MaleFrontalNudity: Mia is shown to be a trans woman right in one of her first scenes, showing that she has penis while she's getting into the shower (Mia's saving for sex reassignment surgery). She continues being seen naked in other scenes as well ("male" obviously only refers to anatomy here).

* ReallyGetsAround: Wendy had kids with three men at least (she's got four).

%%* ProfessionalKiller: Mia.

* SexualExtortion: [[spoiler: John had an "arrangement" with Wendy and tries to have the same with Mia. She pretends to acquiesce, only to have him agree to the arrangement ''she'd'' like at gunpoint.]]

* MaleFrontalNudity: Mia is shown to be a trans woman right in one of her first scenes, showing that she has penis as she gets into the shower (she's saving for sex reassignment surgery). She continues being seen naked in other scenes as well ("male" obviously only refers to anatomy here).

* BigBrotherBully: [[spoiler: Mia's brother Philip, to a truly nightmarish extent.]]

%%* HitmanWithAHeart: Mia turns out to be one of these, especially when she adopts the kids as her own.

* LateComingOut: Mia is a trans woman, who transitioned after having a son with her girlfriend.

* AdultFear: You think your child is safe when they're actually taking the hand of a stranger and being led far into the woods…

* GenderReveal: Within the first five minutes, in a piece of full-frontal nudity, we learn Mia is a trans woman while seeing her taking a shower.

%%* GenderReveal: Within the first five minutes, in a piece of full-frontal nudity.

* SamusIsAGirl: Surprise, the hooded killer in the first five minutes of the first episode is our female protagonist! A DoubleSubversion in that she's also revealed in those first five minutes to have a penis.

%%** ActionMom
* DarkActionGirl: Mia ''does'' kill people for a living...
* LadyOfWar: Zig-zagged. Mia glamours it up off the job, but dresses very practically (and, probably, deliberately androgynously) when taking out a mark.

* AntiHero: Mia, depending on your point of view.
* AntiVillain: Mia, again, depending on your point of view. Eddie even more so.

* BritishBrevity

* CreepyChild: Ryan gets a moment of this in the third episode, [[spoiler: when he responds to being told to disect a frog by holding a scalpel to his own throat, then stabbing the teacher's tie into the desk.]]

* HitmanWithAHeart: Mia turns out to be one of these, especially when she adopts the kids as her own.

* JerkAss: The landlord.

* ProfessionalKiller: Mia.

* WhatDoesSheSeeInHim: John is a thoroughly loathsome human being with apparently no capacity for empathy, a violent streak (it's implied he abuses his wife, let alone everything he does on-screen to Riley), and a general flair for being an asshole. Yet, somehow, he has both a loyal wife and, for most of the series, a frevently devoted teenage mistress.
* WouldHitAGirl: John.

It has a simple (if bizarre) premise, following as it does Transgender hitwoman Mia as she discovers that she has a son by her late former girlfriend, Wendy, and attempts to bring her family together. The show did not get renewed for a second series.
