trope renamed to Sexy Sweater Girl bc it's specifically about fanservice

* PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: [[spoiler: In the very first episode, Vagn is seen calling a man "Paki", and later repeats racial slurs when Theis is beating Kemal, and in the final episode during his MotiveRant he reveals he raped and killed Nanna because he had a crush on her, and he couldn't stand the thought that she loved a Middle-eastern man instead of him.]]

Added DiffLines:

** The Danish word "Perker" is usually translated to "Paki" in the English subtitles. Whilst both words are extremely offensive racial slurs used in the same way. They have different etymologies. "Perker" is a mix of Persia (Iranian) and Turker (Turkish), whilst Paki is derived from Pakistani. However both words are used as racist slur towards North Africans, West Asians and South Asians.

Poisonous Friend is no longer a trope


* PoisonousFriend: [[spoiler: Morten to Hartmann in the first season, and Kristian to the Prime Minister in the third. Vagn appears to be this to Theis in the first, but is actually trying to stir things up to distract from his own guilt.]]

Dewicked trope


* AdultFear: Business is good, you've bought a new house to surprise your loving wife (conversely: your husband is a smart, hard-working guy with his own business and you're still attracted to each other, even if he is a bit of a doofus when it comes to home repairs), your boys are happy and healthy, and your beautiful 19-year-old daughter was at a party last night so she's been having a good time. Then the police come around and ask you why your video store card has been found in a field. Then one of them asks if you have a daughter, and when you say you do, the detective asks where she is, and you realise that your daughter isn't answering her phone. Her best friend thinks she's been staying at her ex-boyfriend's place, so you go there to pick her up, and she's not there. So you drive to where the police are searching, and they've just pulled a car out of a canal.
