The police in the show consistently get the wrong person for the crime. Generally they act on predjudice rather than evidence and they stop investigating loose ends once they think they can get a conviction. In spite of this they are generally portrayed sympathetically as being honest people doing their best.

This is hinted at about halfway through the episode and then discussed in more detail at about 28 minutes. It initially sounds like the baby was stillborn, but turns out she was born with serious complications and then dies as an infant.

The main character is a Catholic priest. Most of the recurring characters are Catholic as well, and some episodes are themed around Catholic rituals and objects (crosses, rosaries). There are also episodes with religious cults, and characters are shamed for doing evil in the name of God. Confession is also a major part of the show.
