* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: Some fans feel this about the crossover that takes place in season 12 with the series ''El pueblo'' (both series are from the same creators), where some residents of Montepinar decide to move to Penafria. Although the crossover takes place over two episodes, that plotline is not the main focus and takes up less screentime than it could. To make matters worse, because this crossover is chronologically set after the events of the second season of ''El pueblo'' (which ended with most of the characters leaving Penafria and returning to the big city), only four characters from the aforementioned series appear: Candido, Arsacio, Maria and Ovejas. And due to the already mentioned fact that the crossover is not the focus of the two episodes, only half a dozen characters interact with the characters of "El pueblo": Enrique, Coque, Chusa, Antonio, Fermin and Agustin. Many fans felt that it would have been better if all the characters from ''La que se avecina'' had gone to Penafria, increasing the number of comical interactions.

* ContinuityLockout: With 12 seasons (so far), the series constantly references events and characters from the past, so good luck to anyone watching this series with the episodes out of order.

Examples regarding the dissonance between time periods require a 20-year waiting period before they can be added.


* ValuesDissonance:
** Antonio Recio's homophobic, racist and misogynistic comments can be quite uncomfortable for some viewers.
** In one episode, Antonio wears {{Blackface}}, which is inadmissible to foreign viewers.
** Alba, a transgender woman, being played by a male actor is this, especially as there is increasing pressure for trans women characters to be played by trans actresses.
** Minguito is seen by some viewers as a cruel mockery of people who have mental conditions, mainly because he is not respected by anyone.

"Idiot Plot" is now Flame Bait. Renamed some tropes.


* AlternateCharacterInterpretation: Antonio Recio wasn't as AxCrazy at the start of the series as he is now. This is classic {{Flanderization}}, but it can be explained by head injuries mixed with his chronic lack of sleep and his DeusAngstMachina status turning him slowly but irrecoverably insane.

* BrokenBase: What was the best era of the series? Pre-Flanderization (the first two seasons) or Post-Flanderization (the rest of the series)? Fans don't seem to reach a consensus.



* TooBleakStoppedCaring: The biggest complaint against the series. Over the years, all of the main characters suffered {{Flanderization}} and became horrible, unsympathetic human beings. While some feel that the biggest source of humor is seeing characters punished for the wrongful acts they commit, others feel that it has reached a point where they no longer feel any sympathy for them.

** Let's face it, Javi is a even bigger example of this: Lola almost always puts her own (and what's worse, her insane mother's) happiness before his. That being said, he isn't exactly what you would consider a perfect husband.

* TheScrappy: Fran, Enrique's son, was very disliked by the fans after season 3. Also, Reyes from season 5 was so disliked that she didn't make it into Season 6 despite her actress wanting to.

**Reyes

**Agustin, introduced as a guest character in season 11 and promoted to main cast in season 12. His main trait is his SplitPersonality, which comes off as gimmicky at best and annoying at worst. It is particularly jarring in the last episode of season 12 in which [[spoiler:everyone is trapped in Antonio's bunker]] and absolutely nobody interacts with his new personality each time he talks.
**Clarita, Yoli's cousin, seems to have been written as a new take for a weird recurring character, not unlike how Violeta Recio was in the earlier seasons. However, she has next to no redeeming qualities to balance out the weirdness. She is just mean to everyone she has contact with. On top of that, as time goes by, her character contributes nothing to the show. The whole reason she is part of the recurring cast in season 11 is to give Amador trouble by having something to hide, the one problem his new and very-understanding girlfriend Barbara could not deal with: [[spoiler:Amador got Clarita pregnant]]. Season 11 finale deals with [[spoiler:Amador's wedding getting ruined because Clarita tells Barbara about the pregnancy]]. Which would make it seem a big deal. And yet, it is not mentioned again until the end of the third episode of the next season, and it is quickly revealed [[spoiler:Amador isn't even the father of Clarita's new born daughter]].

* RomanticPlotTumor: The Enrique/Judith romance is as loved as it is hated, for not only being in a BreakUpMakeUpScenario-dynamic for ''four seasons straight'', but also for being so all-consuming that other larger storylines are moved to the sidelines in favour of more {{Wangst}} between the couple. It doesn't help either that Judith has been so painfully mean to Enrique that one has to wonder [[WhatDoesSheSeeInHim what he sees in her anymore.]]
** The "Cuquis" might be considered a milder version of this.

** Also, between Amador and Leo. Leo usually touches Amador and has NoSenseOfPersonalSpace either, and other characters [[MistakenForGay mistake them for a couple]] sometimes as well. However, in their case it's mostly PlayedForLaughs and not because there's actually any evidence of them being more than HeterosexualLifePartners.

** Other characters fit the trope as well, but oddly enough, Amador and Antonio, who are the two characters most obsessed with sex, are the ones who have less ships involving them. [[JustifiedTrope Justified]] in both cases, since Amador mostly hooks up with guest stars and never stopped loving his wife to begin with, and Antonio is usually too obsessed with the presidency of the Community to care for anything else.
