9	!!This series provides examples of:
10
11	* BilingualDialogue: all over the place and realistically. Characters that don't share a native language switch constantly between English and French. Dialogues among native speakers are in their native language. Arabic and Polish are also employed here and there by Amira's family and Maja respectively.
12	* BrattyTeenageDaughter: Julie quite a bit of the time slides into this, even given her FreudianExcuse.
13	* CheerfulFuneral: [[spoiler: in honor of Farid, and in contrast to the stuffy traditional funeral organized by his parents, the Eddy band throws one at Amira's place.]]
14	* DeadStarWalking: [[spoiler: Fahid, played by Tahar Rahim and arguably the biggest French star of the series, does not make it past the first episode]].
15	* FirstEpisodeTwist: [[spoiler: Fahid is seriously wounded by a shady person he was dealing with and dies in the hospital]].
16	* GayParee: Averted. The series was filmed in the eastern part of the city (XII arrondissement) and suburbs (Montreuil and Bobigny) that are far less affluent and touristic than the city center. As a consequence, the TV show depicts a far more multicultural, gritty and popular Paris than usually seen in international productions.
17	* IdiosyncraticEpisodeNaming: Every episode is titled after the character [[spoiler: or building]] the episode focuses on.
18	* ItsAllAboutMe: Julie and Elliot tend to lapse into this.
