* SugarWiki/AwesomeMoment: The Prince gets one when, after being told by multiple women about how Harcourt abused them (and in Isabella's case raped and impregnated her) he finally takes a stand and dismisses Harcourt from court, making it very clear that he himself is displeased with Harcourt. He also says that if ANYTHING happens to the women who have accused him he will make sure Harcourt hangs before coldly ordering Harcourt removed from the premises.

* TheScrappy: A lot of fans find Lucy Wells rather annoying and boring, especially in the first season. She's often the VanillaProtagonist of her episodes. This lessens in season 3.
** Isaac Pincher is disliked due to his violet temper and thuggish behavior. His relationship with Charlotte isn't looked upon well at all.

* AssPull: The death of [[spoiler: Charlotte]] in season 3 set off a flurry of negative reactions. A lot of fans felt it came of nowhere and that the manner of death ([[spoiler:accidentally getting knocked over a balcony]]) was [[{{Narm}} ridiculous]]. No one could see the point of killing off such a beloved and important character besides having a dramatic plot twist.

* CompleteMonster: [[AristocratsAreEvil Lord Harcourt Fitzwilliam, Marquess of Blayne]], is the leader of the Spartans, a [[SerialRapist rape]] and [[SerialKiller murder]] sex cult. Through the Spartans, Harcourt has young women, especially virgins, provided so he may know the thrill of raping and murdering them. [[BigBrotherBully Terrorizing his lonely sister Isabella]], Harcourt had raped her at a young age, glorying how he "broke" her, while financially controlling her in the present day. Harcourt abuses and hurts all around him, forcing a failed Spartan to kill himself to keep himself safe, and after suffering a loss against the heroines, he demands the normally unscrupulous brothel keeper Lydia Quigley give him a new victim to rape and murder. Harcourt even has his own daughter with Isabella seduced by a servant to ruin her, just to hurt Isabella more. Finally, Harcourt attempts to rape and murder Lucy Wells, being a living near-embodiment of misogynist sadism.
