* ArcFatigue: Many fans are tired of the Zoey/Luca/Aaron LoveTriangle, due to the flip flop throughout the seasons, with Zoey first mutually crushing on Aaron, and then having feelings for Luca and starting a relationship with him, only to still have feelings for Aaron and got together with him... only to break up and return to Luca half way through. The fact it spans ''all four'' seasons is met with much disappointment.
* HarsherInHindsight: The pilot episode has Dre tearfully imploring Zoey to be careful as college life is much more tempting than what it was like when he was a youth. While this was PlayedForLaughs, it becomes a lot less amusing as season 2 has Zoey [[spoiler: being put on academic probation after getting caught cheating and her father cuts her off financially.]]

** Luca in Season 4, specifically when it came to the issue of Zoey's design being stolen by her fashion designer boss and then advertising it as her own completed project and line. Zoey considers calling her out, but refuses to do so on the basis that [[InsaneTrollLogic she's a woman of color]] ''despite'' the fact that it is heavily implied that she frequently screws over her employees, has done this many times in the past, and probably ''will'' do so again, as she gets no real punishment for her actions. And yet Luca's call-out of her is treated as unreasonable and selfish, ignoring the fact that despite Zoey's personal victory, it did nothing to solve the bigger issue.
** Jazz when it comes to the breakup with her latest boyfriend in Season 4. Despite being open with dating a queer man, she shows hesitance when he shows up [[WholesomeCrossdresser in a dress]] without a word to her before hand, which causes her some distress upon the revelation. After taking some time to herself and realizing she can get out of her comfort zone because she still has those feelings of attraction, she slowly grows to accept and becomes willing to accept him, only to show hesitance again in showing off her partner in a dress, and asks him to not do so for the occasion due to her still needing time to adjust, to which he agrees with. The problem comes when he ''still'' arrives in a dress without any communication, accuses Jazz of not accepting all of him, and dumps her, which pushes aside the fact he both didn't talk to her openly as she did with him, and instead sprung things upon her twice without any notice and treated her like the bad guy. This gets downplayed as the final few episodes of season four show Jazz and Des talking again, indicting their romance may be rekindled.

I could be wrong about the whole thing with sky, but it seems like agreeing to something with your partner after having an open discussion, only to go back on it without warning and accuse them of not being open enough, seems unfairly biased. But I'm pretty confident about the Luca situation, Zoey and friends chew luca out despite the fact her boss was basing her success on stolen work and stopping another woman of color (and probably people of color) getting a chance to succeed for her own benefit
