Downtown Tropes:

- The Infiltration: In the first episode, Arik's partner, Ivri, poses as a gangster while meeting up with an actual criminal. He accuses the criminal of being an undercover cop to throw suspicion off of himself.

- Man of Wealth and Taste: Behind Babayof's well dressed and well spoken demeanour lies an utterly ruthless criminal.
- The Mob Boss Is Scarier: Asarian Babayof is a ruthless mobster who is vicious towards civilians, police, and subordinates alike, shoving a subordinate off of a balcony for failing him in the first episode.
