- Headscratchers: What is the real name of Fedya? Did he kill a man? How did Rodion Sergeyevich become homeless in Moscow?
- Jerks Are Worse Than Villains: Although old man Kirill Ilyich is the main antagonist of episode 52th, the woman from whom Maxim tried to rent an apartment, Valentina Grigorievna is much more hated for kicking him out of the apartment because of her misandry, even though he is known to have given her all of his last money, which she refused to return, effectively robbing him. She even threatened him with the police. It also helps that while old man Kirill gets his Karmic Death at the end of the episode, Valentina gets away with everything.
- Memetic Mutation: Nagiyev is such a cool character, I wish he was real. Explanation
- Nightmare Fuel: Many Fantasy Sequence scenes can be scary enough, like the staff eating Max because he didn't cook dinner for them.
- Tear Jerker: Just try not to feel sorry for Vika, when she saw Max and Sasha kissing. Her heartache is shown frighteningly realistic.
- Values Dissonance: Being a Russian TV series, the cultural expectations are different. As such, the show contains many instances of humor that American viewers might consider sexist, racist, or homophobic.
