* AmbiguousDisorder: Tarık suffers from auditory and visual hallucinations. He lapses into believing he is still in the military, salutes an imaginary officer, and follows imaginary orders. After Emel's death, he sometimes hallucinates she is alive and even has conversations with her. He is prone to manic episodes and physical outbursts. He is described by another character at being unable to stand the pressure of responsibility and crumbles under the stress, though he excels at tasks he pursues at his own volition. He is acknowledged as mentally ill, but the narrative never assigns him a specific diagnosis.

As he is pulled into the complicated lives of the Bayrakçi family, Yusuf finds himself mired in a mystery fraught with terrible secrets, shocking crimes, and hidden motives.

!!''Innocent'' contains examples of the following tropes:
* AccidentalMurder: When they were children, Yusuf and Taner were caught stealing a camera from an elderly homeowner; when confronted, Taner whacked the old man over the head, ultimately killing him. Yusuf has been haunted by the incident since.
* TheAlcoholic: Tarık is a chronic alcoholic who turned to excessive drinking after the death of his wife.
* AmbiguousDisorder: Tarık suffers from auditory and visual hallucinations. He lapses into believing he is still in the military, salutes an imaginary officer, and follows imaginary orders. After Emel's death, he sometimes hallucinates she is alive and even has conversations with her. He is prone to manic episodes and physical outbursts. He is described by another character at being unable to stand the pressure of responsibility and crumbles under the stress, though he excels at tasks he pursues at his own volition. He is acknowledged as mentally ill, but the narrative never assigns him a specific diagnosis.
* AwfulWeddedLife:
** Over the course of the series it is slowly revealed just how much Cevdet and Nermin resent each other.
** Rüya and Taner have a caustic and complicated marriage, largely due to [[spoiler:her maintaining a "contract" with another man]] and compounded by his {{Jerkass}} tendencies.
* BeardOfSorrow: Tarık grows one in the six months after Emel's death, indicating a lack of self-care and grooming habits in her absence.
* DeadPersonConversation: Tarık converses with hallucinations of Emel.
* DefectiveDetective: Yusuf's character has elements of this trope at the start of the series, having a preteen daughter he rarely sees and a tumultuous relationship with his ex-wife. By final episode, things are looking a little better for him.
* DrowningMySorrows: Tarık self-medicates with alcohol after Emel's death, [[spoiler:whom he believes he killed himself during a heated argument]].
* FakingTheDead: [[spoiler:Taner fakes his own death after killing Emel and failing to kill Selim]].
* {{Hallucinations}}: Tarık suffers from auditory and visual hallucations, which frighten his wife and at one point lead to a bar fight.
* MakeItLookLikeAnAccident: After [[spoiler:strangling Emel, Taner buckles her into the passenger seat of his car and with Cevdet's help, sends it rolling over the precipice. This serves a double purpose, as it also appears as though Taner has died.]]
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: Tarık has a moment after he [[spoiler:believes he has killed Emel during an altercation. Unable to cope with what's happened, he calls his brother ro deal with the problem]].
* ObnoxiousInLaws: Nermin not only dismisses Emel's concerns about Tarık's mental health, but rags on her for not being an ideal housewife as though it's the source of their troubles.
* ParentalFavoritism: While Cevdet cares for his sons equally, Nermin blatantly favors Taner over Tarık to the point of dismissing the latter's struggles. Cevdet calls her out for her lack of concern.
* PoliceBrutality: When Yusuf (rather unjustifiably) follows Tunç and accosts him on the street, the latter films the encounter while claiming police brutality, and uploads the foorage to the internet. The viral video not only causes trouble for the police department, but also lands Yusuf in hot water with Feride.
* SignatureItemClue: When Yusuf finds [[spoiler:Taner's camera-lens pendant]] in a secluded wooded area, it makes him suspect that [[spoiler:his old friend is in fact alive]].
* StalkerWithACrush: Selim secretly records Emel's appointments with her therapist, pursues her aggressively when her marriage falls apart, and breaks into her house, where he speculates about her marital life.
* SunshineNoir: Much of the story is set against the backdrop of a rustic seaside town surrounded by turquoise waters and sundappled forests.
* YourCheatingHeart:
** Tarık angrily confesses to having a tryst with "yoga girl" to Emel. [[spoiler:This plays a part in ''her'' choice to have a fling at the company retreat]].
** Despite being part of the "terms" of their marriage, this is clearly how [[spoiler:Taner feels about Rüya and her "arrangement" with Selahattin]].
** Feride breaks up with Tunç and moves back in with Yusuf when she discovers he is cheating on her.
