History Series / SoWeird

* CoversAlwaysLie: Disney+ uses apparently [[https://twitter.com/SoWeirdonDisney/status/1194413191276695555?s=20 the least scary publicity stills]] they could find as the thumbnail[[note]]the picture of the Phillips family and Clu smiling in front of the bus; also used in the Tweet announcing the streaming debut of''So Weird''[[/note]] and the banner.

* AdultFear: the series is littered with examples. From the more mudane ones like Fi being lost in the woods overnight in "Sacrafice", children suffering terminal illness like Gabe in "Angel" or long lasting Coma's like the Girl in "Lost", to the more supernatural circumstances like the ghost boy trying to reunite with his parents in the afterlife in "Family Reunion" or the main character in Werewolf

* BewareTheSillyOnes: Bricriu enjoys hamming it up, but he is powerful, crafty, and dangerous.

* EnigmaticMinion: Bricriu is in league with "the powers of darkness," but is more or less and extremely selfish and amoral TrueNeutral - all he cares about is having fun. He claims that he tends to get bored with team evil since they're constantly all about "conquer and subjugate" without any real originality, so he doesn't care what Fiona does. In fact, every time he appears he cryptically tells Fiona information about the deeper mysteries she is investigating and claims to be willing to help her, but then doesn't really care about leaving her to die one way or the other and more or less comes off as scheming.

* LowerDeckEpisode: "Avatar" has Fi in only a couple scenes. The rest focuses on Molly, Jack, and Carey.

%% * GettingCrapPastThe Radar: Due to overwhelming and persistent misuse, GCPTR is on-page examples only until 01 June 2021. If you are reading this in the future, please check the trope page to make sure your example fits the current definition.

* SomethingCompletelyDifferent: "Encore" is an entire episode devoted to a Molly Phillips concert.

The focus of the show is on Fiona "Fi" Phillips (Cara de Lizia), who is obsessed with all things supernatural and seems to encounter them everywhere. As the story goes, the Phillips-Kane Band, consisting of Fi's parents Rick and Molly Phillips (the latter portrayed by Creator/MackenziePhillips of ''Series/{{One Day at a Time|1975}}'') was at the height of their popularity in the late [[TheEighties 1980s]] when the band unexpectedly dissolved after the suspicious and untimely death of front-man Rick, who, as it happens, was also an amateur parapsychologist.

* HilariousInHindsight: In "Pen Pal", Annie's alternate timeline evil twin describes Washington D.C. as "dank", meaning boring and uncool. A decade and a half later, and that word became slang for the exact opposite.

** The ending of "Werewolf" suggests that this is what a town will become to help a young werewolf lead a comfortable life.

* EnthrallingSiren: "Siren", of course, stars a singer who uses her power to further her career. Said siren is played by Creator/JewelStaite.

** Though Jack's GirlOfTheWeek is seen only once, he repeatedly mentions corresponding with her, and his absence in several episodes is explained by visits to her.

Surrender will win the fight\\

* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: Tad Raxall suggesting to Molly they could go on a date, "but nothing formal, with clothes."

Not to be confused with the Disney Channel's children's sketch comedy show, ''Series/SoRandom'', nor with the Canadian fantasy series ''Seriously Weird''.
