Language Heavy

4/5

Strong language is used throughout, with "fuck" appearing frequently and "cunt" occasionally. Milder profanity such as "shit," "damn," and "hell" is common. Some language may be offensive to religious viewers.

Drinking, Drugs & Smoking Moderate

3/5

A teenage girl is shown smoking marijuana on a few occasions. A woman is seen taking clozapine. Some characters drink, including instances where characters drive after drinking heavily. Cigarette smoking also appears throughout.

Violence & Scariness Heavy

4/5

Blood is occasionally visible but mostly kept offscreen. Suicide bombings appear in several episodes; the attacks are not depicted graphically, though the aftermath is, including victims with missing limbs.
