!!The TV Series
* EnsembleDarkhorse:
** Sveta, obviously because of her looks, but also because the actress chose to play her character differently from Creator/ChristinaApplegate. While Kelly Bundy is slow, Sveta Bukina is hyperactive and childish.
** From the new episodes, the new shoe store owner Katya and Sveta's steady boyfriend Gera quickly became fan-favorites.
* SurprisinglyImprovedSequel: Despite the PlotTumor (see the main page), the new episodes were generally well-received.
