Sex scenes and sexual themes
The show deals with adult relationships and is clearly intended for a mature audience.
There are regular scenes of adults engaging in sex, such as intercourse and masturbation. Phone sex also features. Intimate, sexual images of women pop up on screen as Toby views them on his phone.
The sexual activity is frank but inexplicit. Breasts and buttocks are visible but frontal nudity below the waist is blocked from view by the positioning of bodies and camera angles. There are frank comments and discussions about sexual relationships and sex acts throughout.
Offensive language
The word “f**k” and similar are used regularly as part of normal adult conversations to add emphasis or as an expression of frustration. Coarse language, such as “shit”, is also used.
Nudity
There is female breast nudity during a montage of casual sex. Non-sexual male buttock nudity is shown in a scene where a man strips naked before he jumps in a pool. The front of him is seen briefly underwater from a distance. This nudity is unlikely to leave a lasting impression on mature viewers.
Violence
There is a very brief scene of two women fighting as part of an underground fighting club. The fighting is not strong and is unlikely to affect a viewer.
