A match made in heaven sends a criminal to hell.
Randall: I love you, son.
Kevin: Gay.

One of the great things about Paradise P.D. is that unlike it's Spiritual Antithesis, this show has a strong "family" element to its overarching theme. Granted, given that it's Paradise P.D., the heartwarming moments are always going to be very bittersweet, and most of the time, a lot more bitter than sweet, but there's still a small but noticeable dose of love in there and that's all that matters. Characters act a little bit more humane to one another, such as Karen and Randall actually caring for the safety and well-being of their son, Kevin and characters will show occasional genuine compassion for one another. Not only that, but there are some co-workers on the force, who just make small acts of kindness to each other. Not because they're family or because they have to but because they're friends and it's just the right thing to do.
