* {{Narm}}: Some people just can't get on board the concept of a noir set in a high school. The dialogue can be a problem too; hearing teenagers talk like 1940s detective novel characters is really jarring, and the acting often isn't good enough to sell the juxtaposition.



*** [[spoiler:To add, she was probably lying, as a final "Fuck you" to Brendan, so he can think about his lost baby and its mother forever.]]

*CompleteMonster: [[spoiler:[[BigBadFriend Laura Dannon]] is a seemingly innocent upperclassman and potential LoveInterest to Brendan Frye, but she is in truth a [[TheChessmaster manipulative, ambitious puppet master]]. Laura stole and poisoned a brick of cocaine from the Pin, ruining his reputation as a drug lord when the cocaine sent several users into the hospital. Framing her own best friend Emily for the theft, Laura tricked the pregnant girl into signing her own death warrant by enraging Emily's boyfriend Tug into beating her to death. To completely eradicate her competition and tie up all loose ends, Laura uses Brendan to arrange a meeting between the Pin and Tug, then sparks conflict between the two that results in the deaths of half a dozen students in a GangWar. Having put Brendan himself in the crossfire to succeed in her plans, Laura's only recourse when she is exposed is to [[KickTheDog callously reveal]] to Brendan that Emily was pregnant with his child, Laura hoping that these cruel words haunt him for life as payback for stopping her schemes.]]
