History Series / Cracked2013

* KickTheSonOfABitch: One of the victims in the shooting in "Voices" is Andrew Sharp from "The Tennants" who pimped out his girlfriend to the landlord. Said landlord himself is killed at the joint start of "The Tennants" & "Voices", and is also a case of this.

* AmbiguousDisorder: Aiden Black. Several characters suggest he has PTSD, as well as some unspecified anxiety and mood problems, but no actual diagnosis is ever reached, despite his being interviewed by four different psychiatrists. Daniella calls him "cracked" in lieu of a real label.

* BadassBaritone: Leo has the lowest voice of any cast member, and as he proves in "The Price" can be quite the badass.

* KnifeNut:
** Dominic Lazlo, a schizophrenic man who boards a schoolbus armed with a kitchen knife, stabs the busdriver to death, and then cuts the throat of a boy hostage during his death throes.
** Michael from "The Fallen" and Mandar Kush from "No Traveller Returns" are also fond of knives, and Eliot uses one on Daniella during "The Light in Black".

* BaldOfAwesome: Leo Beckett.

As of the start of Season 2, Daniella Ridley has left the show, and Aidan has been partnered with the younger Dr. Clara Malone (Creator/BrookeNevin).

It stars David Sutcliff as Detective Aiden Black, an ex-Emergency Task Force officer with the Toronto Police Service suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder who is transferred to the newly-formed Psych Crimes and Crisis Unit after an outburst involving barnyard noises in a diner. He and his new partner, forensic psychiatrist Dr. Daniella Ridley (Stefanie von Pfetten), and another pair consisting of Detective Poppy Wisnefski (Luisa D'Oliveira) and psychiatric nurse Leo Beckett (Dayo Ade) report to Inspector Diane Caligra (Karen [=LeBlanc=]) are called in to investigate any crime that seems likely to involve an emotionally disturbed person, whether as a perpetrator, victim, or witness. Resistant to the idea at first, Aiden slowly learns to appreciate the job and trust his partner, while trying to recover from the aftermath of two fatal shootings, and an ugly breakup with his girlfriend of three years, Detective Liz Liette (Mayko Nguyen).

* YourCheatingHeart:
** Sean cheated on his wife with Daniella, which should have been a tip off to her that he was a bastard.
** In "The Light in Black", suspect Esme cheats on her husband, Oscar, with his boss whenver she gets home from a trip.
** Annalise from "Rocket Man" cheated on her boyfriend (and later husband) with rockstar Billy, and then on Billy with his parter Max. Somehow we're supposed to find both she and Esme sympathetic.
** In "Hideaway" we find out that Leo slept with his friend's girlfriend shortly after highschool and before her marriage, and that she has since had an affair with another man. Given that her boyfriend (now husband) is a ControlFreak and general {{jerkass}}, it's a lot easier to swallow.

'''''Cracked''''' is a Canadian television series that started in 2013.

* SerialKiller: The perpetrator from "How the Light Gets In" was well on his way. A schizophrenic who believed that he could save his mother's life by ramming light bulbs into the chests of his victims, draining their energy, and then injecting said energy into his mother, he had killed one boy, failed to break into a second house, and was in the midst of trying to claim a third victim when Aiden stopped him.

* DaddyIssues: Eliot from "The Light in Black" was shipped off to boarding school in Europe by his father, who later paid him to stay away. As Eliot comments "Thanks to him I missed my own mother's funeral. When he died last year I made sure to come back for his."

* {{Badass}}:
** Aiden Black, in typical cop show fashion. Leo gets his moment when he subdues a knife and gun armed thug in "The Price", despite being unarmed.
** Villainous example: the two shooters in "The Tennants" & "Voices" are detestable pricks who spend most of their time killing people who can't shoot back. But when the [=ETF=] team interrupts their spree, they manage to take out the entire team in a matter of moments.

* BlondesAreEvil:
** Played straight by Erin from "White Knight", an insane stalker, histrionic personality, and GreenEyedMonster.
** Played with in the case of Esme from "The Light in Black" who was cheating on her husband, but is still visibly horrified by his murder.
** Averted in the cases of Daniella Ridley and Clara Malone, who are both fundamentally good people with the best intentions of their patients at heart.
