* HollywoodLaw: The show has DI Cathy Hudson investigating a case that her boyfriend DI William Beech originally did. This would not be allowed, as it's an obvious conflict of interest (even though she's honest enough to conclude he messed up). It's unclear if her superior knows they're in a relationship, but if not then she should have turned this down herself because of the conflict.

* NeverTheObviousSuspect: Zigzgged in Series One, David is the obvious suspect, [[OffOnATechnicality who got found not guilty of murder due to a cock up in the crime lab processing the evidence]]. He had no verifiable alibi, he was going through a rough patch in his marriage, and there was blood on his coat that matched the victim's. However, as the reinvestigation continues, it's clear that evidence that could convict him again could also prove his innocence. The viewer thus isn't sure until the very end whether he is actually guilty or innocent, though the [[SpoilerTitle title of the show give it away.]]

* NeverSentAnyLetters: Sally often received letters from her mother while she was in prison for a murder she didn't commit, which was a great source of comfort to her given everyone else in her life abandoned her. When her conviction is overturned, Sally eagerly goes to visit her mother in the nursing home she lives in, only to discover her mother has had dementia for much of Sally's imprisonment and barely even recognizes her now, nor is she capable of writing. It's explained that another resident wrote Sally letters pretending to be her mother so she wouldn't give up hope. Sally handles it graciously but is clearly devastated.

* ProppingUpTheirPatsy: In both seasons, the culprit defends someone accused of their crime to further their own agenda, one more blatantly than the other:
** In Series 1, David's brother Phil takes him in after his release from prison and defends his innocence on multiple occasions. This is because he killed David's wife, Tara, after she insulted him following him hitting on her.
** Downplayed in Series 2. Though they do get divorced, Sally's husband Sam insists that he's always believed in her innocence, and there are several scenes that hint at his unresolved feelings towards her. He's simply lying to himself and perhaps trying to make sure she doesn't figure out the actual connection: that he murdered her pupil Matty because ''they'' were sleeping together (a crime of which Sally would be accused).
