* AntiHero: Practically every single character in the series except the Truffle Swine.

** Simonsson may count as a downplayed example of this. He ''does'' come close to capturing the gang at points, but his poor reasoning and not-that-smart moves make him fail every time.
* CharacterDevelopment: At the start of the series, Hissing is a broken, suicidal man and not far from a ChewToy. He only joins the gang because he is forced to. As the series progresses, he becomes a suave, cunning and powerful criminal who genuinely enjoys criminal activity. He gains much more respect, but also loses his former kind and unassuming personality and ultimately, becomes a more unsympathetic character. His remaining sympathetic traits prevent him from becoming a pure VillainProtagonist, though.

* ComicallyMissingThePoint: The Russian Interpreter seems to translate ''everything'' Hissing says to Russian even when its totally pointless.
-->'''Hissing'''(at a restaurant):The bill, please

* DisneyVillainDeath: The Truffle Swine.

* FromNobodyToNightmare: Hissing evolves into a downplayed example of this trope. He goes from a depressed ButtMonkey to a powerful criminal mastermind.
* HeroAntagonist:Inspector Simonsson.

* VillainousBreakdown: The Truffle Swine has one when Hissing Seemingly throws away his part of the treasure map.

* DefrostingIceQueen: Ros-Marie began the series as a cold, demanding criminal with little concern for others. After she fell in love with Hissing, she softened significantly. At one point, she even yells at Hissing for being so cold.

* DarkerAndEdgier: Zig-Zagged. The first third of the series was slightly [[LighterAndSofter]] than Ärliga Blå Ögon but it becomes significantly darker than it after Josef Brandt is murdered. After The Truffle Swine is killed, the series become somewhat lighter again and by the end of the series, the tone is pretty much the same as in the predecessor.

He gains much more respect, but also loses his former kind and unassuming personality and ultimately, becomes a more unsympathetic character. Ros-Marie, on the other hand, changes in pretty much the opposite direction; when she first appeared, she was cold and arrogant, but with a certain respect from her minions (she is implied to have been the leader of the gang). During her journey, and her romantic relationship with Hissing, she eventually becomes more caring and sympathetic. By the end, she is considering giving up her criminal career.

* BadPeopleAbuseAnimals: Subverted. Ros-Marie at one point holds Hissings cat as ransom, threatening to kill it if he don't speak, but she later admits she can't bring herself to do it. Hissing even lampshades this;
-->'''Hissing:''' I know you wouldn't hurt anyone. You're good people.

* UnfortunateItemSwap: The entire plot is triggered with the gang taking the wrong car.
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Exaggerated. With the sole exception of Chief Inspector Simonsson, there is no connection to the predecessor ''whatsoever''. Not even his office or assistants are the same, and there is no mention of the mysterious Con Artist or what happened to her.
