Sex & Nudity

  • A woman is held captive by a serial killer; she is tied to a chair and duck-taped and is fully naked, but no graphic detail is seen, we only see some cleavage as well as her bare thighs and abdomen. Later on, the killer is seen in his underpants, while inserting his hand in the "coffin" where the woman was placed, implying to be about touching her crotch. Nothing is seen, and his action is interrupted. Afterwards, we see the woman escaping; she is wearing only a jacket and is still implied to be naked (no graphic nudity is seen).
  • A woman seduces a man she just met and invites him to her apartment; there, the two have sex (there is some heavy kissing but no nudity at all). We see them starting to undress on the stairs, then the woman leans on a table and the man is implied to penetrate her from behind (there is some brief thrusting but no nudity, we basically only see the woman's face is close-up).
  • A serial killer is said to have raped, tortured, and killed 19 girls. We see him as he tortures his latest victims, two girls, whom he dressed up in skimpy outfits, and their boyfriends; he tortures the girls while saying that "he likes bitch slaves", whom he "uses for sex, in ways they do not like". He also asks to one of the girl's husband how is it like to see him raping his wife over and over (we do not see him raping her). No nudity.
  • In two separate scenes, a woman is seen wearing panties and a shirt. Her buttocks are partially and briefly shown.
  • A woman takes a shower (no nudity). Afterwards we briefly see her bra as he puts a shirt on.
  • A dead woman is found naked and tied up (no graphic nudity). The coroner says she has been raped.
  • A woman is seen wearing a towel after a shower (no nudity).
  • In a club scene, strippers are seen dancing and flirting with customers, wearing skimpy clothes and costumes. No graphic nudity.
  • A perverted old man gropes a nurse's breasts repeatedly, making her very upset. Another nurse makes a reference about him having groped her butt before.
  • At a rave party, many girls are seen wearing skimpy clothing. No female or male nudity is shown.
  • A woman is said to have been raped at only 13 years old and gave birth to a child.
  • A woman and a man kiss.
  • A married man and woman are seen kissing mildly a few times throughout the episodes.
  • Some sexual references, usually mild, some including dialogue about rape and pedophilia. In one episode, a serial killer is said to be keen on masturbation and pornography.

Violence & Gore

  • As expected from a police and serial killer series, there are several murders and shootings throughout. Many dead bodies are found, and some of them are very disfigured and bloody; the murders are often discussed and referenced to, and most of them are grisly. The blood amount varies from mild to gory.
  • A man is seen chopping a chicken's carcass with a cleaver (graphic but brief).
  • In an episode centered on a sadistic serial killer of women, we hear about women being kidnapped, tortured and killed by a man.
  • In the third episode, a woman hits another woman hard in the face with a pan twice (the second time a lot of blood comes out of the wound and sprays on her hair, face, and neck); she falls on the floor, then the attacker releases her dog, who assaults and mauls the woman to death (offscreen but still very disturbing, we hear the dog barking and the flesh lacerating, while the woman screams and the other woman watches).
  • A man kills and threatens families after invading their houses. A woman is strangled on video. Later we see her bruised dead body (she has been beaten). Her two children have been killed too (we do not see their dead bodies, a man says their throaths have been slit). A man is killed offscreen; we later see his bloody body. Another woman has her wrist cut (she doesn't die), and her children are held hostage with a knife.
  • We see two girls in a process of "slave-making", being tortured while tied to a rotating structure (we also hear a creepy, menacing registration of the killer speaking). The first girl's husband is trapped and gagged inside a cage, witnessing his wife's torture; the killer tortures him as well, and we see him cutting one of his fingers (offscreen, blood splatters on the killer's face as the man screams). Afterwards he slices the man in the stomach, killing him (the slicing is offscreen, we see a large pool of blood on the ground). The killer then cuts his body into pieces with a saw (offscreen, we later see a few severed bloody pieces). In the tenth episode, the killer kidnaps a young man and cuts his tongue (the torture is not pictured); we see the victim tied to a bed, still alive, with his face covered in blood and the severed tongue nearby. Later the police finds his body, chopped to pieces on the bed; we see a severed arm. All these scenes are intense and disturbing. The killer is said to have kidnapped, tortured, and killed 19 men and 19 women in total (the women were also raped).

A new type of drug and its effects are discussed. A character is said to be a drug producer. Another character is a drug dealer. A serial killer is said to drug his victims.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • The whole series involves murders. Some people may find a few scenes unsettling, and the images of corpses hard to watch. Violence on women is very frequent, and a few instances of animal abuse are also present. Some scenes involving serial killers are quite grisly and disturbing.
  • The woman in two episodes is a complete psychopath who kills several people in brutal ways; in one irksome scene, she sets her dog on a woman, who is mauled to death.
  • A man is a sadistic, perverse serial killer who kidnaps, tortures, and kills many women and men (he also rapes the women). The sequences involving him are disturbing.
  • A few deaths are emotional.

Spoilers

Sex & Nudity

  • Child abuse plays a large role in the series. There are references to a man abusing and killing a child who happens to be his step-son.
