* CrapsackWorld: Aside from the misanthropic deities, bloodthirsty night creatures, and self-serving occultists, Victorian England is consistently portrayed as a racist, classist, sexist, and nationalist cesspool with some debauchery for good measure. It’s not even restricted to Victorian England as America and Northern Africa are depicted as possessing more or less the same qualities in Season 3. The closest thing the series has to an actual, on-the-ground force for Heaven is the Lupus Dei, [[spoiler: a werewolf who butchers innocent men, women, and children.]] children]]. It makes the presence of decent or (self-improving) characters all the more poignant.

* MonochromeCasting: Downplayed. In seasons one and two, the only non-white main character is Sembene, and he barely talks. This improves somewhat in season three, where there are not one but ''two'' non-white characters in the main cast, namely [[spoiler:Kaetenay and Henry Jekyll.]] All other characters of color in the show are either background extras or play extremely minor roles. It is justified, however, by the show largely being set in elite parts of Victorian English society, which would realistically be about 100% white.
