** Did Zelmare and Swanee get together because they recognized kindred spirits in each other who already embraced the outlaw lifestyle, or did one introduce the other to her TriggerHappy SatisfiedStreetRat mindset after they got together?



* EnsembleDarkhorse: WickedCultured [[TheConsigliere consigliere]] Doctor Senator is rated as far more likable and intelligent than most of the main characters. [[spoiler: Unfortunately, he dies less than halfway through the season.]]

WickedCultured [[TheConsigliere consigliere]] Doctor Senator is rated as far more likable and intelligent than most of the main characters. [[spoiler: Unfortunately, he dies less than halfway through the season.]]]]
** Swanee, the Native-American-Chinese beloved half of a LoverAndBeloved StupidCrooks OutlawCouple prone to BewareTheSillyOnes moments may not be in the opening credits, unlike her partner Zelmare, but is probably a bit more more popular than Zelmare and a lot more popular than several other main characters.


Added DiffLines:

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodCharacter:
** Detective Odis Weff is a UsefulNotes/WorldWarII veteran who worked as a minesweeper (a job rarely given much attention in WWII fiction) who has [=OCD=] that makes him a NervousWreck even before he is forced into a reluctant partnership with a GoodIsNotNice and BunnyEarsLawyer literal CowboyCop. With all of these traits, he had the potential to be a season protagonist, AntiHero, or more prominent supporting character in this season or another story later down the line. However, due to Hawley’s reluctance to glorify any of the era’s cops, Odis (while still a fan favorite) is relegated to a somewhat antagonistic role with limited screen time or plot relevance.
** CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass OutlawCouple and prison escapees Zelmare and Swanee, the first prominent lesbian couple in the franchise, are frequently described as characters who feel shoehorned into the plot at times and aren’t given enough room to develop as much as many characters but feel like they could have been utilized better in a season with a smaller number of characters and plotlines. Swanee could have also been a ContrastingSequelMainCharacter (or rather supporting character) to the only previous major Native-American character, Hanzee (who starts off as a NobleDemon but gets a lot worse) if she’d gone from being more TriggerHappy and chaotic than Hanzee to getting CharacterDevelopment with EarnYourHappyEnding potential.

* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: Some fans theorize that Clayton Winckle stole Loy's credit card idea, while others think a third party developed it independently while Loy suffered delays due to his race. There's also some debate about whether Winckle criticizes the concept of a credit card due of ethical issues about charging unfair interest rates, racism against Loy, or just because he isn't smart enough to appreciate the potential profits.

** Does Josto treat Rabbi well out of simple pragmatism, because [[spoiler:he feels closer to him due to (possibly correctly) suspecting that Rabbi was another victim of his former molester Owney]], because he respects the sacrifices Rabbi had made, because his hatred of Owney makes him feel indebted to the man who helped kill him, or some combination of the four.
** Is Leon a SmallNameBigEgo punk who [[spoiler:only turns on Loy as the result of some harsh MistreatmentInducedBetrayal, or is he an ObfuscatingStupidity figure who was always planning on betraying Loy]]?

* JerkassWoobie: Odis Weff is a corrupt cop on the payroll of the Faddas [[spoiler:and eventual murderer in his own right]], but the poor guy is always being eaten alive by compulsive anxiety and nervous tics, came home from war to see his wife had been raped and murdered, and is stepped on by absolutely everyone he meets--the Faddas, the Cannons, even his own partner on the force. He's not a criminal out of malice or greed but desperation and a lack of better options, which [[spoiler:ultimately pushes him to murder. His victims are hardly worthy of sympathy; one was his {{jerkass}} partner whose incompetence provokes a massacre, and the other is one of the two women who actually committed said massacre.]]
