Sex & Nudity
-
- Although there are very frequent scenes of sex, graphic nudity isn't common.
- A few scenes take place in gay strip clubs, with tight clothes shown but no other nudity.
- Occasional scenes of masturbation.
- There is some sexual content.
- The sex scenes go from mild, to very graphic in all episodes
- In season one, episode one, genitals of a men are shown.
- There are many scenes of casual sexual encounters. Some characters (including children) are seen watching pornography on TV and on the computer and participating in explicit sexual activity. Sexual favors are exchanged for money.
Violence & Gore
-
- There are scenes which depict attempted and successful suicide in a graphic manner.
- Violence is usually very infrequent, but when it does happen, it can be graphic sometimes.
- Many scenes of punching, often with graphically bloody results.
- A man's limbs are chopped off. His bloody intestines are later shown being put in trash bags.
Profanity
-
- Probably all of them are used pervasively.

Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking
-
- The main characters sell drugs from an ice cream truck. They are seen selling beer and joints (they are seen rolling them up too) to kids as young as 12-14

- While there are lots of scenes depicting substance use (marijuana, ecstasy pills, powdered cocaine, crystallized methamphetamine, crack cocaine, heroin, opium poppy, Percocet, Oxycontin and myriad of other narcotics referenced). Drug use gets more infrequent and brief throughout the seasons. Yes, there are a lot of excessive alcohol drinking, smoking or using other substances, but this show has a strong anti-drug message, and will definitely throw you off the idea of abusing drugs or alcohol.
- There are scenes in the 2nd season with a marijuana farm and tons of marijuana dealing in the 2nd and 5th season. An opium farm is shown in the 6th seasons and plotlines of meth dealing in the 2nd, 5th, 7th and 8th seasons including meth farms being shown. In the third season a cocaine den shown

- Tons of marijuana smoking per season. Teens and adults smoke joints, bongs, dab pens, bowls, pipes etc. Also some k2/spice smoking in the 5th season
- Cocaine is used infrequently in the earlier seasons at party's, and party boats but there are a couple graphic scenes like a scene where people snort cocaine and a toddler ends up eating some of it. Another scene of frank and more people snorting packages of cocaine. He also smuggles cocaine and snorts it too
