Graphic violence
Violence is frequent throughout the series, and again in season two (episode one), can be graphic at times. Characters often shoot or fight each other. In these scenes, we sometimes see dead bodies, injuries, blood, and wound detail. Although they are often covered or brief, these may shock and disturb some viewers.
The injuries are sometimes detailed, including blood spray/splatter and dismembered body parts.
In episode one we see several heads explode in close-up with almost comic bloody gore. The explosions leave characters covered in bloody matter, and the victim’s neck stumps squirting blood from the main artery. In another scene during a fight sequence two characters are killed by a live grenade: we see a geyser of bloody gore explode into the sky.
Offensive language
Offensive language is frequent, often used during conversations and sometimes as insults. In episode one “f**k” is used several times, along with “motherf**ker”, and “sh*t”.
