Tropes used in Hit & Miss include:
- Dead Guy, Junior: Sort of. Mia's son Ryan is named after her male identity. So "Ryan" would have been dead to Wendy.
- Easy Sex Change: Completely subverted. Mia has to take hormone pills and use hormone cream; she starts to panic when she misses them for a single day.
- Gender Reveal: Within the first five minutes, in a piece of full-frontal nudity.
- Hitman with a Heart: Mia turns out to one of these, especially when she adopts the kids as her own.
- Jerkass The Landlord (and his son).
- No-Holds-Barred Beatdown: Mia gives one to the Landlord who's been giving her trouble.
- Ooh, Me Accent's Slipping: Averted so far. It's almost impossible to tell that Sevigny is American.
- Oop North: Set and filmed in Manchester.
- Professional Killer: Mia.
- Something's Different About You Now: Par for the course, really.
- Trans Equals Gay: Assumed by Wendy's children; defied by Mia.
- Underestimating Badassery: Something everyone does to Mia. Especially the Landlord.
