Violence 

Violence is not overly gory and is sometimes played for laughs, though blood splatter and dead bodies are shown throughout the series. Violence includes stabbings, slit throats, fistfights, shootouts, car/motorcycle chases, fires, falls from great heights, car crashes, and an explosion. There is occasional injury detail and wound stitching.

Cruelty

Characters are held hostage at gunpoint.

A character is chained to a bed, interrogated, and tortured by having their tooth ripped out. We see blood pool in their mouth.

Drug use

Characters snort cocaine and talk about selling drugs. A character is drugged and becomes woozy, before giving herself a shot of adrenaline.

Offensive language

Characters use coarse and offensive language, including "f*ck", "sh*t" and "b*tch”.
