** Exaggerated in season 3: Among others, Sofie and Carl only have speaking roles in one episode each, Sif only appears very briefly in an Instagram story, Sara only has two non-speaking cameos, Ollie only appears in two episodes, and Tone's dad only appears in one episode. Even Aske is almost completely absent for the last 10 episodes. This is make room for CharacterFocus on the four new main characters.

* BetaCouple: Sofie and Carl serve as this to Alma and Elias in season 2. They get together with a lot less hesitation than Alma and Elias did, and their relationship seems to have a lot less drama (in fact, the only falling out they have is directly caused by Alma's OperationJealousy).



* RelationshipRevolvingDoor: Alma and Elias go through this after becoming an OfficialCouple. At the end of season 1, they are on the verge of breaking up because of Elias not being able to read Alma's signals. In season 2, they break up for real due to Alma's OperationJealousy, but get together again a few episodes later. In season 3, they break up again at the start of the season due to Elias's refusal to talk about TheirFirstTime. It remains to be seen whether they'll get together again.

** Ollie himself is shown flirting and kissing with girls several times, but the details of [[TheirFirstTime his first time]] is deliberately kept in the dark and there are some suggestions that it might have been with a guy. In the following episode, Aske thinks Ollie has a crush on him, and while the episode ends with Aske and Ollie agreeing that they're just good friends, it's never made clear whether Ollie did have a crush on Aske.

** Tone is usually shown to be exclusively into girls, but there's one scene where she spontaneously kisses Ollie (and the following episode is about her refusal to talk about it). It's not made clear if it was a case of frustration and/or confused feelings, or if she genuinely felt attracted to him.

* GuiltByAssociationGag: Sif kicks out Tone, Alma and Elias from her party - Tone for playing with her feelings, Alma for stealing her swimsuit, and Elias for puking on the floor. And then she demands for Aske to leave the party as well even though he did nothing wrong - just because he's part of the same friend group as those three.

* RealLifeWritesThePlot: Alma wears braces during the first half of season 1 because her actress wears braces ([[PubescentBraces and it fits well with her awkwardness]]). When her actress had her braces removed midway during filming, the writing team decided to quickly write an episode where Alma also has her braces removed and deals with the (lack of) attention from it.

** When Aske is having Sara over for a visit, Aske's dad expects the worst and pulls Aske aside to have a chat about what to do when you have a girl over. However, he ends up not knowing what to say, so he eventually just mutters that consent is important and hands Aske a pack of condoms.

Elias is more openly jovial than the other three, but on the flipside he's also the most sexist and conceited one.

* CasanovaWannabe: Elias talks a big game, but when he actually approaches girls, they are often grossed out by his immature and male-chauvinistic behavior (though his self-confidence occasionally makes him more attractive to girls than the insecure Aske).


Added DiffLines:

* DivergentCharacterEvolution: At the start of season 1, Sofie and Sara only ever appear together and are both known as the popular and snobbish girls of the class. However, once they start interacting with the main cast separately, they are shown to have different personalities; [[RedOniBlueOni Sofie is the most outgoing and overbearing one, while Sara is more soft-spoken and sometimes a bit shy]].

A third and ongoing season, which started airing in March 2021, focuses on a new school year and adds four younger kids (Elias's younger sister Silke and her classmates Otto, Julle and Alex) to the main cast.

!!Tropes:
* AerithAndBob: "Alma" and "Elias" are extremely common Generation Z names in Denmark, and "Aske" is also relatively common... but "Tone" as a name is almost unheard of.
* CringeComedy: Naturally a stable trope for a series titled "Awkward". Almost every episode has the characters deal with things such as [[RagingStiffie unwanted erections]], period leaks and clumsy attempts to approach your crush.
* DemotedToExtra:
** Several characters in season 2: Aske, while still part of the EnsembleCast, has fewer focus episodes and takes a backseat to his best friend Elias who becomes an AscendedExtra. Jan, Aske's and Alma's dad, only makes two appearances at the very start and very end of the season. Sara only makes very short and sporadic appearances compared to her relatively large role as Aske's LoveInterest in the first season. Downplayed with Sofie who appears in fewer episodes than season 1 but still has a relatively large role in some of the episodes she appears in.
** Practically every character outside of the main cast (classmates and parents) have been demoted in season 3 to make room for the four new main characters.
* HypocriticalHeartwarming: Aske and Alma never seem to get along in most of season 1; they spend a lot of their time together bickering and are implied to have become less close with age. However, when Elias starts dating Alma, Aske becomes extremely protective of her.
* MySisterIsOffLimits: Despite never having shown to care much about Alma at first, Aske suddenly becomes protective of her when Elias starts dating her, and has a falling out with Elias. It takes a long time before he starts to accept their relationship.
* OnlyKnownByHisNickname: Ollie and Julle are mentioned during their first appearances to be named "Oliver" and "Julie" respectively, but they're only ever called Ollie and Julle.
* StraightGay: Tone is ([[AmbiguouslyBi probably]]) only into girls, but doesn't any noteworthily butch or masculine traits, being more of a BrattyTeenageDaughter.
