Added DiffLines:

* LostInTranslation: Marguerite's derogatory nickname, "Pompes Funebres", is translated in the English subtitles as "Deadly Lips". The actual French meaning is an untranslatable pun between "pompes funebres", the French word for an undertakers/morticians, and "pompe", which literally means "pump" but is also a slang expression for fellatio.


Added DiffLines:

* OnceDoneNeverForgotten: Nobody will ever forget that Marguerite Steinheil killed the president of France with oral sex.

Added DiffLines:

* {{Gayngst}}: In the second season:
** Absolutely nobody has any sympathy for Adolphe after he got syphilis from a man, even before he starts acting very unpleasantly.
** It is strongly implied that Cochefert is a closeted gay man who lives under the weight of massive social homophobia.

Added DiffLines:

* TheCoronerDothProtestTooMuch: Subverted in the second series, where the pathologist genuinely convinces everyone that a guy who was shot four times in the head really did kill himself. He just bungled it very badly, with the first three shots being non-fatal.

Added DiffLines:

* SignificantWardrobeShift: Late in the second season, after Jouin has been falsely accused of sodomy and been stripped of his new respectability, he decides to become [[TheUnfettered Unfettered]] and fully embrace his CowboyCop side again, symbolised by removing the homburg that he's worn for most of the season and putting on his first-season flat cap again.
