* MistakenForToilet: At a party, Lyn drunkenly mistakes a sculpture for a toilet and urinates in it, causing the host to kick her out.
* MonochromeCasting: Nearly all of the characters are Latino, except for a couple minor White ones. As it's set in a heavily Latino section of LA and focuses on their lives though, it makes sense.

* LatinoIsBrown: Nelson prefers dating White woman over Latinas as he likes fair skin. However, in reality Latina women have a variety of skin tones (not to mention that Latino is a culture, not a race, thus White vs. Latino isn't a binary option, however in the US they're often treated that way). Only those with olive skin and darker are shown in the series, expect for maybe Nico.

I missed the folks Emma had a threeway with were nonbinary. Correcting, and expanding on this along with another trope as well.


* IntimateMarks: One of the women whom Emma has a threeway with has many tattoos on her torso just beside or above (though not on) her breasts, plus over her ass, as the audience [[{{Fanservice}} gets shown in great detail]].

* AThreesomeIsHot: Emma meets up with two women in a club (one of whom she'd previously hooked up with) and they have sex (offscreen).
* TokenWhite: Nearly all of the cast are Latin American, with only a few whites appearing on the show. Lyn's boyfriend in the first season and a store owner (whose property Marisol vandalizes) are probably the only ones who ever appear in more than a couple scenes, have multiple lines or aren't in the background.

* {{Colorism}}: Prejudice against darker-skinned Latinos is {{discussed}} as being common in the community. Nelson, the sleazy developer, told someone right to her face he wasn't interested after she turned out darker than in her online photo. Marcos and Lyn decide to use this by setting up a fake profile on a dating site of a very white girl, then catfish him. He tells Lyn (thinking she's the girl) he's not into Latinas due to preferring "pink nipples".

* BuxomBeautyStandard: Lyn got [[FakeBoobs breast implants]] as a boyfriend of hers in the past thought larger ones were more attractive and pushed her to.



** Emma and Lyn’s mother's death is the IncitingIncident for the plot, while their father is absent in the beginning. It turns out he was deported to Mexico, but there's no indication of them being in contact with him at first. They thought he died, [[spoiler: but he's still alive and is back in the US. Lyn reconnects to him, but Emma doesn't want to. It doesn't last long, since he expresses homophobia toward them hosting LGBT events in their bar, and about Emma being queer, so Lyn declares him [[YouAreNotMyFather no longer her father]]]].
