Sex & Nudity

  • Two women are having sex in the room, moaning can be heard behind the door
  • A woman is seen in bed with another woman, no nudity.
  • Moaning is heard through a door at a wedding, nothing shown.
  • Two women are seen in bed wearing underwear, no nudity
  • The opening credits contains images of statues of topless women but nothing sexual and no nipples
  • 2-3 instances of female nipple nudity (three if you're observant)

Violence & Gore

  • The series showcases disturbing imagery of decaying ghosts, most particularly a female ghost whose neck is grisly bent and another whose face is grisly mauled. It occasionally pops up throughout to unsettle viewers.
  • A character accidentally inserts his hand into a rotating fan; it gets a bloody gash afterwards with dripping blood. A decaying corpse is shown. Several frightening scenes involve ghosts with charred skin.
  • We see a coroner doing a make-up session with two dead people. The first one is very respectful, the second one a bit bloody and gory. Both scenes are very intense and emotional. Not for the faint hearted.

Profanity

  • Every episode of the season contains uses of strong profanity, such as "fuck" and "shit". Early episodes contain sparse uses, but it becomes more frequent as the series progresses.
  • Every episode has uses of strong profanity throughout, such as "fuck" and "shit" (mostly spoken by Shirley and Theo), and other uses of language, such as "goddamn," "asshole," "bitch," etc.

Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking

  • A woman lights up what looks like to be a marijuana joint after sex.
  • Adults drink one gets drunk a man at rehab and his friend smoke a cigarette and a girl smokes marijuana. A charecter is a recovering heroin addict. Heroin buying and using shown but not extremely graphic

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • All though each episode can be slow at times, the feel of each one has very dark tones and can make anyone feel uneasy. The show overall also has an incredibly sad and depressing tone
  • Some of the ghosts can be very frightening
  • Extremely disturbing scenes portraying a very graphic suicide. The act is spoken about throughout starting with the very first episode, but the actual scene can terribly upsetting for some viewers.
  • Young children and their adult counterparts are terrorised throughout by ghosts and apparitions which are extensions of the haunted house and their own trauma. The series is unremittingly suspenseful and at time frightening.
