** [[spoiler:Cadillac touching his groin upon seeing Mylene at Les Inferno isn't pleasant to watch either.]]

* AwesomeMoments: The DJ battle between the Get Down Brothers and the Notorious Three is ''beyond epic''. The Get Down Brothers' section starts with the Franchise/StarWars theme and only builds from there, and the five of them are perfectly in sync the entire time.
* AwesomeMusic: A show about music, executive produced by a famous musician? You'd best believe the soundtrack is this.
** After episodes of struggle, "Set Me Free" is every bit as heart-stoppingly powerful (and [[EarWorm catchy]]) as Mylene deserves.
** "The Get Down Brothers vs. the Notorious Three" is so awesome that its performance is actually the climax of the sixth episode.
** While it was short, simple, and only comprised of a single phrase, Mylene, Regina, and Yolanda's cover of "I'll Be There" by Music/TheJacksonFive is breathtaking. Not to mention the fact that their harmonies inspire Jackie to put Regina and Yolanda on Mylene's album.
** "Telepathy", the song performed in the gay bar in episode six, deserves a mention for its catchiness, lyrical relevance, and being performed by Music/ChristinaAguilera.
* HeartwarmingMoments: Ra-Ra's speech to Zeke in episode two, telling him to forgive Mylene because even if they don't end up together, her friendship is worth it:
-->The way I see it, all of us here on this planet, and we're on a journey. And it is a mystery. Who knows who's gonna end up where with who, right? It's just sad to lose a friend, though. 'Cause like... that's the hardest thing to come by.
** Dizzee and Thor's entire relationship is this, mainly thanks to how similar they are and how well they connect. Dizzee's friends, family, and even fellow graffiti artists at the writers' bench view him as a complete weirdo (albeit a likable one), but Thor? He thinks Dizzee's a genius, and Dizzee thinks the same of Thor.
** The fact that Mylene's song was dressed up as a religious outreach to appease her ultra-conservative father Ramon, only to end up becoming a gay anthem for its message of love, acceptance, and freedom, is both heartwarming and amusingly ironic.
* EnsembleDarkhorse: Thor only appears in a few scenes, but he's become quite popular thanks to his adorable relationship with Dizzee and his role in making Mylene's record a hit.
* FandomRivalry: Some fans have tried to create this with Series/StrangerThings, which they view as competition due to that being another {{Creator/Netflix}} series which debuted only a month earlier, but achieved massively more mainstream success.
