* WrittenInAbsence: As mentioned above, William's actor, Thomas Hayes, quit the show after the second season to focus on other projects. This is explained in the third season as Noora and William moving to London together, with Noora eventually coming back when things get complicated between them again [[spoiler: because of Nicolai]]. She waits for William to follow and get her back if he really loves her, but as his actor's quit, one might he assume he never will. [[spoiler:Until he suddenly showed back up in season 4 episode 8 that is.]]

** Sana's season, and the end of the series, ends without making it clear if her mother will ever approve of her possibly dating [[spoiler:Yousef]]. The beginning of the season also hinted that Sana was curios of having sex, which doesn't really go anywhere either.

** The Penetrators mascot is the ''Film/{{Terminator}}.''

A German, Italian, French, Spanish ''and'' Dutch version are also being made.

** Eva's mother not seen since season 1, Emma last seen in season 3 and the school nurse all appear in the final episode.

** In-universe, Noora telling the girls that [[spoiler:she believes she was raped by Nicolai.]]

* BreakThemByTalking: After Sonja informs Isak that [[spoiler: Even has had a manic episode]], she goes on to say that [[spoiler: their relationship is merely a sick idea he has because of his bipolar and that he should stay away]], leaving Isak shedding a tear as she walks off.

* CharacterFocus: The focus changes each season, Eva in season 1, Noora in season 2, Isak in season 3 and Sana in season 4.

* CulturalTranslation: Averted. The "Russ" concept is a recurring theme in the show (as is expected of the characters' age group), but since this is a phenomenon unique to Norway, there really is no good way to translate the concept and so most of, if not all subtitles of the show, translates it all directly, perhaps with a side note at most.

** The trailer for season 2 begins with Noora waking up in bed next to a naked girl, giving the impression that she might be gay or bi, or that the season in some way or another anyway will address homosexual girls. Turned out none of this was the case.

* NeverTrustATrailer: The trailer for season 3 features [[spoiler:William]], even though he's absent from the season.

* LeftHanging: Sana's season, and the end of the series, ends without making it clear if her mother will ever approve of her possibly dating [[spoiler:Yousef]]. The beginning of the season also hinted that Sana was curios of having sex, which doesn't really go anywhere either.

* HypocriticalHeartwarming: Sana often talks condescendingly to Vilde, and is understandably frustrated with her ignorance regarding islam, but she through water on Ingrid and Sara for calling her a slut ins season 1, and is seemingly still holding it aganst them a year and half later. Vilde herself, while often bickering with Sana, states that if anyone fucks with Sana, the fuck with the rest of the girl squad.

** [[spoiler:William]] returns for the last three episodes of the series.
** Eva's mother not seen since season 1, Emma last seen in season 3 and the school nurse all appear in the final episode.

* LoveDodecahedron: Being a teen drama this isn't unexpected, though it isn't as extreme as in some others. [[spoiler: Before the show started, Jonas left his girlfriend Ingrid for her best friend Eva. When the show starts they are together, but Jonas's best friend Isak has a crush on him. Eva's friend Chris has a crush on Isak. Meanwhile, P-Chris is hitting on Eva, while in relationship with Iben. He also hooks up with Ingrid. In season two, Isak is dating Sara, but Chris is still crushing on him. She starts dating a guy named Kasper by the end. William winds up dating Noora, and previously hooked up with Sara and Vilde. Sara also hooks up with P-Chris. Isak hooks up with Emma in season 3, but starts dating Even who is in relationship with Sonja when they meet. Sana falls for Yousef in season 4, but is worried that he likes Noora, who also shows interest in him while she's trying to forget William. At the end of the season, Jonas is dating Emma, but she leaves him for P-Chris, who was sleeping with Eva. Eva and Jonas then get together.]]
