* DiabolusExMachina: Arguably Agent Turner's dogged and even obsessive pursuit of Beth, which goes far over and above the priority her level of criminal activity would realistically be at for a federal agent, but with no apparent special motivation behind it. Escalates to the level of absurdity when [[spoiler:he comes to Ruby's house early in the morning and arrests Stan ''in front of their kids'' solely as punishment for her not turning on Beth]].
** He tells [[spoiler:Noah]] near the end of season 2 that he has an axe to grind with Beth. He feels that she's a terrible person but thinks she can get away with it due to existing in an upper middle class, privileged suburban bubble. [[WillingSuspensionOfDisbelief Whether this constitutes a believable explanation for his actions]] is up for debate.



* KillHimAlready: Annie all but begs Beth to just shoot Boomer when they had him dead to rights.

* KudzuPlot: It's becoming increasingly apparent (particularly from [[SophomoreSlump season 2]] onwards) that the story doesn't have a definitive direction. It has no obvious and coherent theme or story arc beyond the main characters continually trying to bail themselves out of their latest problem and ending up falling into a new one.

* SuspiciousSkiMask

* EvenEvilHasStandards: Hilariously, Rio considers middle-age women beauty products to be "poison". In a more serious tone, he also draws the line at harming or scaring children. The latter is most likely because [[spoiler: he is a father himself to a son he loves very much.]]

** In "I'd Rather Be Crafting" the ladies come up with a plan to steal evidence that would incriminate them for their 2nd robbery. Beth and Annie successfully break into the police van, but find themselves unable to go through with it as it would also destroy the rape kits inside.
