* OvershadowedByControversy: One scene depicts (part) of an endowment ceremony inside a Mormon temple. In Mormonism, divulging the secrets of the temple is AgainstMyReligion. The series is very critical of the faith in general, but the disregard of this specific hard boundary is considered especially egregious. The specific bit of the ceremony depicted are the "penalties"--a part of the rite which was removed from LDS practice in 1990. Does this make it better, since what's being disclosed is not ''currently'' held as sacred practice? Opinions vary.

* TheWoobie: Matilda Lafferty. She strongly suspects that Dan only married her as a consolation prize (he'd pursued her sister first), but she was a divorcee with kids and was desperate to give them a father, so she married him, and now she's stuck in an abusive marriage with a horrific father-in-law and no way out. She constantly looks and sounds terrified.

* HeartwarmingInHindsight: The book mentions Ruby Jessop being forced into a plural marriage without her consent, noting that she hasn't been seen by any outsiders for two years and that she's hidden from the world, ending on the uncomfortable notion that she may never escape- or worse, be fully indoctrinated into Mormon Fundamentalism and not ''want'' to escape. In 2013 Ruby and her children finally escaped and she reunited with her sister Flora.
