* AdaptationalDumbass: Lowbeer is nowhere ''near'' the nigh-unstoppable {{Chessmaster}} she was in the book, who instantly took control of events as soon as she appeared, and effortlessly strung all of the other characters along into fulfilling her goals. She's still clearly intelligent in the series, but Flynne has to come up with her own plan to put herself out of the villains' clutches, though the Inspector's true aims [[WildCard are yet to be revealed]]. Note that this is clearly {{Justified}} as a means to preserve tension in the series.

* WorthIt: Despite the headset causing seizures [[spoiler:by somehow generating bacteria ''inside her brain'']], Flynne 's SmallTownBoredom is so severe that she's happy to accept this as the cost of her adventures in London.

* RuralGangsters: The small Southern town of Clanton, one of two primary settings in the series, is dominated by the sadistic [[SmallTownTyrant car salesman turned drug lord]] Corbell Pickett and his gang. They are responsible for a significant part of the country's economy thanks to his drug-building operations and [[DirtyCop have the local police department in their back pocket]]: so much so that Pickett can happily [[BadBoss mutilate his own men]] in public places without [[IOwnThisTown any fear of reprisal]].

* TokenGoodCop: While the Clanton county Sheriff's department is mostly [[DirtyCop in the pocket of Corbell Pickett]], Deputy Tommy Constantine remains genuinely principled, but this starts causing no shortage of problems. He grows increasingly frustrated when his attempts to investigate a ramming attack on his own police cruiser (conducted by Pickett) are stymied, and he [[spoiler:eventually ''snaps'' when he is asked to help [[FrameUp frame his friend Flynne Fisher and her family]], killing Pickett and the corrupt Sheriff Jackman, who had previously mocked him for [[SillyRabbitIdealismIsForKids attempting to cling onto]] [[GoneHorriblyRight his sense of justice]]]].
