* AudienceAlienatingPremise: It's possible that the show's lackluster marketing and eventual cancellation stemmed from this. The show attempted to be both a gritty crime drama and a ''[[Film/{{Twilight}} Twilight]]''-esque teenage love story, with mixed results. The market for those who enjoy both appears to be narrow, judging by the show's lackluster ratings. And while attitudes are changing, a sizeable portion of American audiences are still put off by the idea of following a show with two gay leads, who have a shirtless makeout scene 7 minutes into the pilot no less.

* JerkassWoobie: A sizeable portion of the fanbase views Lukas as this. He keeps quiet about the murders he saw even when he learns the killer's still out there. He doesn't treat Philip very kindly during the first half of the series — beating him up for talking to him in front of his friends; trying to use him for sex afterwards; asking him to get him drugs despite knowing how deeply Philip's mother's addiction affects him; and when Philip is [[spoiler: forced to apologize for [[CassandraTruth making up]] the story about the gun, he twists the knife further by saying Philip made ''him'' steal from his father to buy drugs.]] On the other hand, he's struggling with PTSD and internalized homophobia, and he does genuinely like Philip and wants to be with him.
