Sex & Nudity

  • There are extended scenes of characters in an orgy with fairly graphic sexual activity between characters. The final episode features a short scene where two characters are seen naked and thrusting. Full front nudity in several shots in the same scene.
  • The main character is seen having sex with a woman. The shots are brief but clear and we see her grinding on top of him.
  • Full frontal male genital nudity, very explicit. No female nudity whatsoever

Violence & Gore

  • Bloody and violent fight scenes and deaths.
  • In the first episode, a large bar brawl involves harsh violence including lots of blood loss and broken bones. One of the main characters fights off a group of men with a dart and continues to brutally stab them.
  • A boy's dead body is seen in a bathtub.
  • After a brutal fight in an abandoned block of flats, a mans face is forcefully pressed onto a meat cleaver causing blood to heavily spray and pour from his face. Extremely graphic.
  • A woman is taken hostage and brutally tortured. Broken glass is placed below her feet that continues to cut her. Marian begins to pull the woman's finger nails off with pliers.
  • A man's been shot by a sniper. Half of his head is blown off.
  • A man's been cut in his leg. Very graphic.
  • All violence portrayed is hard-hitting, intense, and graphic.
  • S 2 ep 5 contains a scene of extremely graphic death. One guy has a gun put in his mouth and the shooter proceeds to kill people via the back of his head. In slow motion you see the physical reaction to the first guy's face to being shot in the mouth, with his cheeks splitting open and his eyes filling with blood, as his entire head is haemorrhaging.
  • Level of violence:10/10.
  • One of the most violent TV series of all time. EXTREMELY graphic bloody killings and carnage in nearly every episode, sequences of brutal torture, dismemberment, massive gunfights and massacres with high body count. Absolutely staggering level of violence, gore and intensity.
  • A man is tortured by having holes drilled in his leg. He is later killed with a drill hole to the back of the neck (9/10)
  • A woman discovers her husband being burned alive slowly on a table. She tries to lift him off the table, peeling off chunks of torched flesh. EXTREMELY horrific and disgusting (10/10)
  • A woman has a brutal hand-to-hand fight with 3 large men. She kills one of them by smashing his head with a flashlight over 20 times. This long scene shows us in detail as the man's face caves in and blood and brain matter spray everywhere. INSANELY GRAPHIC, comparable to the fire extinguisher scene in Irreversible (10/10)
  • A scene features a group of heavily armed assassins entering a flower warehouse that acts as a front. Later, we see the floor of the warehouse literally covered in the bodies of over 30 people. Blood and devastation litter the ground. Very intense aftermath scene.
  • A pile of corpses is found on a boat.
  • A man is suddenly shot in the eye while speaking to the driver of a car.
  • A man has his hand cut down the middle and ripped apart. Very bloody and nasty (10/10)
  • A man is seen with an X carved into his face and his tongue cut out (10/10)
  • Rated TV-MA for strong bloody violence.

Profanity

  • Numerous uses of words like Fuck, Shit, Bastard, Asshole, Prick, Dick, Bitch and others are used throughout the show, befitting the show's criminal/gang background.
  • Cunt is used less frequently.

Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking

  • A man injects heroin whilst sitting in a bathroom.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • The violence is graphic and portrayed intensely and often by frightening individuals. Due to this, some of the violence retains a somewhat horrific quality not often found in action films and shows.
  • Pervasive extreme bloody violence, terror, and a MASSIVE body count. Often it is over-the-top and unrealistic but still very unsettling and intense.

Spoilers

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

Violence & Gore

  • A huge shooting massacre occurs where dozens of people are killed. Explosions cause graphic injury detail. One man continues to shoot people with a shotgun at very close range causing blood and brain matter to spray from the bodies. Extremely graphic and intense
  • S1, E6 has an extended action sequence where a group of mercenaries assault a country house that has been fortified to hide a murderer. There is a 10 plus minute insanely intense and frenetic shootout where people are graphically shredded with automatic gunfire, blown apart with grenades, a man is stabbed with a fire poker and then burned alive.
  • A main character walks into a dilapidated and mostly abandoned flat building and discovers a man dismembering a corpse. We don't see the actual action but the killer is in his underwear covered in blood and there is blood all over the room. We see the chopped up body in a tub briefly. Later, the main character and the killer have an extended and brutal fight ending with the killer's face being impaled on a meat clever. BRUTAL and disturbing (10/10)
