Sex & Nudity
-
- A video implies three young men performing necrophilia; we see a brief clip of the boys removing the head of the body and talking about performing indecent acts on it. It's then implied they begin having sex with the head, which is confirmed later when Jimmy says to a woman, "They had sex with a head." We don't see this; however, we see the reactions of the audience witnessing the tape. We can still hear it very slightly in the background.
- Two sex workers are ask Saul if he'd like to receive a quick "rub n tug" and how they won't mess up his suit and clean him up with a warm towel before they go. Saul turns them down and asks them to do him a favour and humiliate Howard, which is what they do by asking him for their money in public in front of other lawyers and the word "tugboat" is said.
- Jimmy and Kim make out and Jimmy lifts her to the bed as they undress eachother down to their underwear. They're about to have sex but Jimmy stops to tell Kim something, after he does they continue to kiss and fall onto the bed. Sex is implied.
- Scenes of mild sensuality and kissing. A few implied sex scenes with characters laying in bed under covers. One brief on screen sex scene though not explicit.
- Saul's bare buttocks is seen 4 times the first 2 are very brief and easy to miss the other two are in more recent episodes and are lingered on a lot longer.
- Saul wakes up in bed unclothed with an unclothed prostitute. Saul's buttocks are seen a few times.
- One on-screen sex scene. No nudity, but lots of movement. Lasts a few seconds.
- We hear a man moan "yep" and a woman lightly moaning accompanied by heavy bed springs. It then pans over to a man and woman having sex we see heavy thrusting and the man and woman's head and shoulders rocking back and forth. No nudity is shown as they're both mostly hidden by covers and the far away camera angle. This is the only on screen sex shown in the series.
- Kim grinds and humps Jimmy as they make out. This is hard to see as it is out of focus. Sex is implied.
- A painting shows 2 nude woman with bare breasts shown. This is only a painting however.
- A woman mimics masturbating.
- Saul is seen sitting naked his rear ended is seen for a few seconds
- One brief non explicit sex scene.
- Some Characters go to a strip club and are entertained by strippers and pole dancers. No full nudity though.
Violence & Gore
-
- The first three seasons contain infrequent violence, mostly just people getting punched, shot bloodlessly, offscreen or with little blood shown and one off screen decapitation (we hear it and see two teenages holding the head in a video tape, go to the Sex & Nudity category to find out more). Season 4, 5 and 6 ramp up the violence where violence and shootouts result in blood spray, most notably someone getting shot in the stomach with blood splattering all over the camera, someone getting shot in the neck with a stream of blood spraying out onto another person and a man getting his foot chopped off with an axe.
- The first three seasons of the show feature minimal violence and deaths. While guns and knives are depicted and occasionally fired, the overall level of violence is not consistent throughout these seasons.
- Bloody violence in Season 4, 5 and 6. Especially season 6 having the most frequent and grisly violence of the whole series.
- Season 6 is very violent and bloody. The violence is incredibly frequent in comparison to previous seasons.
- The first 9 episodes of season 6 contain lots of bloody imagery, violence and even some gore during the aftermath of violent acts. Severe violence in comparison to the previous seasons.
- Overall, less violent than Breaking Bad. While never graphic, it is very intense and gruesome.
- We see a photograph of a bruised and bloodied woman.
- The last 3 seasons have pretty bloody shootouts
Profanity
-
- 23 uses of "fuck"
- 3 uses of "fuck" in Season 1, 4 uses in Season 2, 4 in Season 3, 3 uses in Season 4, 3 uses in Season 5 and between 5-8 uses in Season 6.
- Frequent uses of "damn", "ass", "asshole", "shit" etc. Occasional uses of "bitch", "prick", "pussy", "dick", and "whore". "Fuck" is usually uttered 3 or 4 times per season.
- Some strong language used sparingly.
- "Chingar" the Spanish word for "fuck" is used specifically in one scene 3 times subtitled with "fuck" however the word is used many other times unsubtitled.
Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking
-
- As the show goes on the drug dealing plot becomes more apparent, so drug use and dealing is more common in Seasons 4 and 5 but not throughout.
- Occasional meth and cocaine use.
- Season 5 is considerably a lot more severe than the first 4 seasons.
- One scene of men doing bong hits.
- Several characters are drug dealers/pushers, multiple packages and packets implied to be methamphetamine, heroin and cocaine are seen occasionally throughout the series.
- A side character occasionally sells stollen pills in the first 2 seasons.
- Some drug use but it's very infrequent. Some of it is strong but most of it is brief.
- Hard drugs are referenced frequently throughout season 6 but never shown apart from fake bags of cocaine to frame someone. People are shown high in one scene and a montage of drunk men drinking.
- A montage scene shows two men snorting meth and committing crimes.
- Characters frequently smoke cigarettes. A couple are shown sharing cigarettes throughout the series.
Frightening & Intense Scenes
-
- A heavily implied but censored necrophilia scene may disturb some viewers.
- The show has some high stakes and graphic content but it is nowhere near as frequent and severe as it is in Breaking Bad.
- More comedy and less grit than its predecessor, but still quite grim and dark especially in later seasons.
- Rated TV-MA for some strong violence, drug use, language and brief sexuality.
- The show gets more and more depressing as it goes on.
- Season 4, 5 and 6 ramping up the stakes, violence and tension.
- There is a jump scare involving a car wreck. Very shocking and intense scene.
