Sex & Nudity

  • A sex scene takes place on top of a bed, nothing really shown but moaning and dildos being picked up from under the bed.
  • Almost every episode contains brief lovemaking scenes including cuddling.
  • Season 3 is by far the most sexual season, with the most amount and graphicness of these scenes.

  • In season 3 a woman's sleeve slips up revealing scars on her arm, which we can assume to be self-harm scars
  • Stalking and murder are key themes. Scenes include brutal, bloody attacks with instruments like hammers, and images of bloody corpses with slashed throats. Kidnappings and other events are also visible.
  • Season 4 is by far the most graphic

Profanity

  • Wine, champagne, cocktails at social events. Cigarette smoking and vaping visible. References to using cocaine. Drunken behavior leads to some unexpected consequences.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • Premise of show is very dark and potentially triggering.
  • The show tackles many violent themes such as domestic violence, murders, gender based violence, attempted sexual violence/violations, suicide and serial killings.
  • Deaths in the show are often sudden, unpredictable, shocking, and upsetting with a swift action of violence (axe, knife, gun, blunt object) with bloody aftermath. Camera work is stylized to not directly show the murders (some are off-screen or implied) for most scenes. There are some intense moments, though, where we see the character die and the action that caused it.
