* [[Complete Monster]]: Åge Krüger. Also, possibly, Helmer.
* [[Crowning Moment of Awesome]]: Dr. Helmer [[Hannibal Lecture|Hannibal lecturing]] the entire Danish nation from the hospital roof while looking at Sweden through his binoculars. 
{{quote|'''Dr. Helmer''': Here, Denmark. Excreted from limestone and water. There, Sweden. Carved in granite. Danish scum ... DANISH SCUM!!!!!
'''Dr. Helmer''' [later episode] (reaching out towards the Swedish nuclear power plant across the bay): With plutonium we'll get them yet...DANISH SCUM!!!!! }}
* [[Crowning Moment of Funny]]: Several, but arguably topped by the way everything that can possibly go wrong goes wrong when the Minister of Health visits the hospital at the climax of Riget I to see "Operation Morning Air" for himself - complete with walking into the middle of an exorcism carried out mid-corridor with improvised tools. Also just about any scene featuring Dr. Helmer.
* [[Ensemble Darkhorse]]: Despite his Dane-detesting attitude, arrogance and villainy, Dr. Helmer became an instant favourite with the viewers.
* [[High Octane Nightmare Fuel]]: In oodles. Do NOT watch this series if you or someone you know are about to go to a hospital. Or attempt sleep.
** Properly borders more on regular [[Nightmare Fuel]], but [[Humanoid Abomination|Little Brother]] is very [[Body Horror|creepy]].
* [[Jerkass]]: Mogge was clearly very immature from the beginning, but he really starts to come out as this in the second series.
* [[Moral Event Horizon]]: Some of the things Helmer does to hide his serious screw-ups might qualify as crossing it.
* [[The Woobie]]: Mona and Mary. And Little Brother.
