* QuestionableCasting:
** Kaspar Capparoni's tough demeanor was considered unfit to the role of a policeman.
** Francesco Arca looks too pretty to look like a serious policemen.



* TheyChangedItNowItSucks: The more serious approach the Italian seasons gradually added was not well received by the fandom. Another disliked change was that Rex was slowly becoming more passive than he was in the Austrian series and became just a device to arrest the criminal.

* AuthorsSavingThrow: A failed example. There were criticisms that Rex was becoming a flatter character with time and that the series were getting less comedic. The creators did want to address them, but there were CreativeDifferences with some crew members. When it finally adds a MultiPartEpisode with an Austrian series vibe, the ratings of the series have become too low to support that and the series became DarkerAndEdgier.

** [[spoiler: Moser's death]], ''in spades''. The fact it comes ''[[YankTheDogsChain right after]]'' the guy has settled with a girlfriend he's happy with is bad enough already ([[Creator/JossWhedon "happy people make for boring television"]] indeed), but the "PleaseWakeUp" scene at the end manages to make it [[UpToEleven even worse]]. [[spoiler: Rex does the final "Please, Wake Up" with a squeaking animal's toy it is holding in its mouth, before it gives up and sadly leans its face on Moser's dead body]]. And then the screen fades to white.
