* FriendsRentControl: Nola lives in a large, very nice apartment even as a struggling artist. Mars [[LampshadeHanging lampshades]] it by asking just how she affords the place. It's {{downplayed}} somewhat as Nola is behind in paying the rent often, and once almost kicked out by her landlady.

* LittleBlackDress: Nola gets a sexy, very expensive one in an episode to help feel better about herself. It doesn't work out though, as she gets more attention than she'd liked.

* NoFourthWall: Nola speaks directly the audience quite often, as do minor characters at times, like in the original film.

* BaldWoman: Reed is noticeable among the female cast as she's the only one with a buzzcut.

* GlamorousSingleMother: Opal and Shemakka both have daughters here, and aren't involved with their fathers (Opal's a lesbian who just got a donation from him). They both seem to do very well. However, though their fathers don't appear, it does seem they pay support and are involved, which probably helps.

* BabyDontGotBack: One episode featured Shemekka, an exotic dancer who's insecure about her flat butt. She starts getting illegal silicone injections in her butt throughout the series to make it bigger. Naturally, at her debut at a club, everything goes wrong when she slips and falls on the stage right on her butt -- and her butt ''bursts, drenching the audience in silicone.'' Then later turns towards drama has the injections have caused her to get an infection in her bloodstream.

* FanserviceExtra: Nola provides the most fanservice in the series, naturally, as the main character who's quite promiscuous. Some minor characters though are also shown getting at it briefly, such as Cheryl and Reed (plus many women Greer's shown with in a brief sex montage).

The 2017 [[TheRemake remake]] of Creator/SpikeLee's 1986 film of the same name, this series is a Creator/{{Netflix}} Original, following the same basic plot: Nola Darling is a free-spirited Black female artist living in Fort Green, Brooklyn, with very complicated relationships. Mostly these involve three different men: Jamie, Mars and Greer, whom she has casual sexual relationships with. The series expands on her life and relationships though, making this all grow even ''more'' complicated. Along with the film's characters, a number of new ones are added to the plot too, and entirely new storylines beyond the film content.

* {{Polyamory}}: Nola has non-exclusive relationships with Jamie, Mars, Greer and Opal. She also calls herself polyamorous while speaking with her therapist.

* MalignedMixedMarriage: Dean mentions his mother refuses to accept his Black wife or their mixed race child.
