Violence

Some of the strongest scenes of violence in the first episode include:

• An apparent intruder is hit in the face with an object, causing them to be knocked out and we see their very bloody face.
• A person has their arm broken and is killed by being burnt alive.
• A person is killed by being held under water.

Offensive language

Characters frequently use offensive and coarse language, including words like “sh*t” and “f*ck”.

Content that may disturb

A person is deliberately trapped in a burning room, and we watch the passive faces of the killers as they wait until there are no audible signs of life. We are later shown photos of the charred remains.
