F*cked up relationship dynamics.

  1. Pullo and Eirene (HBO): legionary Pullo finds himself attracted to the enslaved woman Eirene and takes ownership of her. He is shown having his way with her as her enslaver and she doesn't quite understand his language. After Pullo formally emancipates her, he learns she has already formed a relationship with an enslaved man. He proceeds to brutally murder the man in public in his friend's estate. Eirene magically forgives and marries Pullo; she gets pregnant but dies after being poisoned by the woman Pullo cheated on Eirene with.

  2. Wyatt and Darlene (Ozark): a mentally unstable older woman forms a relationship and marries a grieving much younger man. Don't want to spoil too much, but the age difference is one of the less concerning things about the relationship.

Police misconduct or brutality has consequences for law enforcement.

  1. Roughing up suspects can lead to bad outcomes (Dark Knight): Joker taunts Detective Stephens into attacking him in the interrogation. He proceeds to take Stephens hostage and proceeds to make a phone call that blows up a henchman and the GCPD.

  2. Reckless gun usage (The Wire): fires his gun multiple times when it was unnecessary. The first time injures a civilian. Another incident kills an undercover officer and forces Prez's resignation.

  3. Cops act like a street gang with badges (We Own This City): The Gun Trace Task Force extorts, intimidates, and terrorizes the community they serve. Even in a city with a police department as notorious as Baltimore, the unit's acts are so egregious that many receive lengthy sentences and careers end.
