* AlternateCharacterInterpretation: An in-universe one. Dwight is struggling between whether he's a FriendlyNeighborhoodGangster or whether he's a WrongGenreSavvy {{Deconstruction}} of it. He spent twenty years in the joint to protect his Don but has since found out that loyalty may have been misplaced as well as ruined his family. On the other hand, he's forming a new TrueCompanions gang in-universe. So he's torn between whether his lifestyle and code were worth it or not.

** Whether Bodhi is a HarmlessVillain Protagonist who is out of depth with the real criminals and a NewAgeRetroHippie who wouldn't hurt a fly or actually an ObfuscatingStupidity master criminal in his own right. The revelation he's made millions in cryptocurrency con games in Episode 7 points to the latter.

* Episode 7 has Dwight dismissing the value of cryptocurrency and [=NFTs=] as "not real" with Bodhi telling him how much they can make stealing them. At the time of the episode's airing, a huge backlash led to [=NFTs=] and cryptocurrency seeing a huge dip in their value and Dwight's dubious attitude toward them was correct.
