Spoilers

The Parents Guide items below may give away important plot points.

Sex & Nudity

  • Questioning a boy about pornography he masturbated to, a man asks, "How young were they in the pictures?" Later, the boy's mother tearfully says he was, "Looking at kids." Shocking, considering the boy was seen cheerfully interacting with a little girl at his fast-food job before.
  • Several mentions of child pornography.

Violence & Gore

  • A boy attempts suicide via handgun (it turns out the gun isn't loaded, however).
  • A fistfight offscreen results in the death of a character. The survivor is later seen walking despondently down a street, covered in blood.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • A boy attempts to commit suicide.
  • Child pornography is mentioned along with prostitution as well as masturbation. There are also dark themes of blackmail. The whole episode leaves the viewer feeling queasy afterward.
