Bloody violence, cruelty, and content that may disturb

The violence in the first two episodes includes gun violence, hand-to-hand combat, and torture scenes. Wounds are bloody. In these episodes, the strongest content includes:

• A character is hit suddenly by a car and killed
• A character is shot in the foot as a form of torture
• A character is choked as a form of torture
• A character is tied up and trapped in the boot of a car
• A character is choked in an attempt to kill them, but they survive by stabbing the perpetrator. This scene is very dimly lit, so details are hard to discern.
• A character’s feet are set on fire

Offensive language

Characters use frequent offensive language, including “sh*t” and “f*ck”.
