* {{Narm}}: One plot description for the show given during early marketing described Hayes as being blackmailed by her "sexy nemesis" (referring to Wallace); this was part of the MisaimedMarketing that played up the BelligerentSexualTension between Hayes and Wallace mentioned above. The reaction from the sites who republished it was basically to laugh out loud at how cheesy that description was. Afterwards, another plot description was released that removed that phrase and only mentioned Hayes being blackmailed.

* DarknessInducedAudienceApathy: It's a series about a gleefully unprofessional brat who's allowed to avoid prison in exchange for serving on a task force, and who responds to that opportunity by deliberately taking on controversial cases in an attempt to dare her boss to fire her, knowing that getting fired might very well mean going to jail. Incidentally, the ratings were abysmal and the series was cancelled halfway through the first season.
