** A more comedic example happens with Sybil Reed in "The Sins of Castle Cove." She's portrayed as in the wrong for writing her book to get revenge on the people whom she blames for making her life miserable when she was a teenager. However, given the fact that Cabot Cove is known as "The Murder Capital of Maine" for a reason, viewers found it ironic that Sybil was getting blasted for writing a book that portrayed her hometown as a WretchedHive of murder and violence as if she made it all up.

* AlternateCharacterInterpretation: Given just how often Jessica runs into murders, including a death rate in Cabot Cove that ''per capita'' rivals a warzone, many fans suggested, only half tongue-in-cheek, that Jessica was actually the most successful serial killer in Television history.

* GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff: It's hard to find another contender for ''the'' ultimate crime or mystery series on Italian television. It premiered in 1988 and still enjoys full reruns to this day, on more than one channel in some periods. The series won a Telegatto (the Italian equivalent of an Emmy) in 1999, with [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1IA-aXJss1Y Angela Lansbury meeting her Italian dubber Alina Moradei on stage]].
Added DiffLines:
** Due to the CompletelyDifferentTitle in Italian (see the Trivia page for more details) and the popularity gained by weird literature in Italy from TheNewTens on, younger viewers joke about Jessica (the titular Lady in Yellow) being a supernatural entity even more powerful than Literature/TheKingInYellow, which could also explain her DoomMagnet tendencies.

After the first one's death, he spent years of his life in a mental hospital and just after being released, a second gets murdered the same way, panicking him with the thought that he'll get locked up for life. It's made worse by the fact that he only killed the first fiancé accidentally in self-defense when the fiancé tried to stab him for knowing too much, and blanked everything out from the trauma.
