Sex & Nudity
-
- At the end of season 1, a character is very nearly forced to have sex with a family member. It doesn't actually happen, but the character does strip down.
- In one episode a teen girl uses a bidet to masturbate. No nudity but she squirms and giggles.
- A woman poses nude for a painting her breasts are visible.
- Effy and Cook have sex in some episodes.
- Having sex and losing virginity are frequent topics of discussion. Various simulated sex acts are visible, though nudity is limited. Partial male and female nudity (buttocks and breasts are visible; painted images of female genitals are sometimes shown). Words like "pussy" and "dick" are used frequently. Tony calls Michelle "Nips" after seeing her breasts.
- Female full frontal nudity is seen way more times than male full frontal nudity justified by context.
- In season 1, not a lot of sex is shown but it is described in graphic detail and frequently.
- Season 3 - Cook and JJ go to a brothel and Cook gets a handjob. They then find a BDSM enjoyer strapped to a chair. Very disturbing and graphic.
- Mini talks explicitly about how she wants losing her virginity to feel, with discussion of coming and penetration.
- Liv and Mini crudely discuss sex.
- Very strong sex references and occasional nudity in some episodes
- Sex scenes are much more intense and graphic in the first two series, but become a little more mild from series 3 onward.
- Occasional sex scenes - no close up penetration shown, but some full frontal nudity.
- Most of the nudity however involves adults as the main characters will almost 100% have nudity covered with an arm or, simply off camera. Some scenes do contain shots of the character's backsides.
Violence & Gore

- Arguments sometimes break out among the teens, which result in the occasional punch, kick, or food fight.
- There's occasional violence that ends in a bloody nose or a cut cheek, usually fights.
- Some fight scenes.
- Some dead bodies seen when characters die.
- A girl commits suicide at the start of series 4 by jumping off of a club balcony whilst high on drugs, which becomes the focal point of the series. There is blood pooled around her head.
- Occasional and sometimes strong
Profanity
-
- In Season 1 the"nigger" is said by a character...
