* LoopholeAbuse: Beautifully done in the Season 2 finale. Carey [[spoiler: is held by Frank, who forces her to state on video that she is under the authority of United States jurisdiction. Later, when Carey's plan to expose Correction occurs, Garland tries to arrest her only for Carey to smugly point out she's under U.S. jurisdiction so Garland has no authority. Garland demands Frank arrest Carey but, having just learned Garland made him believe he had cancer just to trick him, Frank just smiles and lets Carey go. And when Garland threatens to arrest Carey as soon as she leaves, Carey smiles back that as soon as the evidence of Correction (mainly Isaac showing up in front of a live crowd when he's supposed to be in a TV interview) hits, Garland is going to be the one facing criminal charges.]]

* ShownTheirWork: The process of faking CCTV footage shown in episode 5 of series 1 is very realistic. In particular [[spoiler:the only part that is fake is Shaun's face, and even then they couldn't fake an expression that they didn't already have footage of. The rest of the footage is pre-filmed on location with a stand-in dressed as Shaun. They had to film 25 different versions to account for clothing and vehicle differences and still almost would have failed if it weren't for Hannah's quick thinking on the night. The only part that's slightly less realistic is their ability to inject the fake footage into the CCTV feed.]]

CIA Evil FBI Good is specifically about the juxtaposition of a morally good FBI organization and morally bad CIA organization. Example that don't fit the trope will be deleted or moved to existing tropes when applicable


* CIAEvilFBIGood: A UK-specific example is interrogated between the London police (FBI) and [=MI5=]. The protagonist is police, and she believes [=MI5=] are interfering in Shaun's case, though why has yet to be seen.
