Sex & Nudity

  • Ep. 1: We see at least 3 women wearing outfits revealing cleavage. Also, one woman is wearing a athletic outfit that shows her abs. Early in the episode a man (Larry) tries to "hit" on a woman and then later in the show Tom (the main character) goes to Larry's house and finds lingerie in random places. Obviously implying that Larry brought the woman home. But we never see her there.
  • Ep. 2: Tom tries to make a woman sober by holding her under a cold shower (no nudity they're both fully clothed). While she's under the influence of a sedative she says, "You know, the least you could do was take off my clothes." Tom: "You're just gonna have to sleep this off." Woman: "I knew you were trying to get me in bed..."(then she kisses him) Tom: "You're not gonna make this easy for me are you?" Woman: "No, you want me in bed you're gonna have to work for it." The scene ends there and nothing sexual happens nor is implied. When she wakes up she's wearing a robe that's gaped slightly open revealing some cleavage for a few seconds.
  • Ep. 3: Nothing very sexual. A man has to take a woman home because her car "broke down" and he doesn't come back until the afternoon of the next day.
  • Ep. 4: A woman asks a man if he's getting impatient with her since they haven't gotten past the "serious necking stag" in their relationship (obviously implying that they haven't had sex). At one point the woman asks, "Are you for real?" (meaning that as 'are you ready to have sex.') The man says, "Well lets just take our cloths off and find out." They don't take their cloths of and they don't have sex. After that conversation she tells him about another love interest. A woman and a man are seen in bed together. Both shirtless but you can't see the woman's breasts because she's holding the covers. In a montage you see a close-up of a woman's breast (the nipple is slightly covered so you don't actually see all of her breast but you can see most of it.)
  • Ep. 5: Nothing to mention.
  • Ep. 6: Nothing to mention.
  • Ep. 7: Some kissing. We see a photo of Tom's wife in which she is wearing a low cut shirt revealing some cleavage. Tom walks by a painting of a nude woman.
  • Ep. 8: A guy trying to frame Tom takes a picture of him comforting a girl who's pretending to be upset. The girl is in on the framing too so she kisses him to make it look like he's taking advantage of her. But, there's nothing sexual about that scene.
  • Ep. 9: Tom and his friend drive to a place where they find a prostitute. Tom's friend is friends with the woman and at some point he mentions that he had used her services. As they are talking she leans down to talk at their car window and we see some cleavage. Later when they are at dinner the prostitute is wearing a low cut revealing dress.

Violence & Gore

  • Ep. 1: Tom elbows a cop in the face which leads to him being treated roughly and arrested. Tom threatens a doctor with an overloaded syringe (full of a sedative). He does end up injecting him with the sedative but only enough of it to knock him out for a few hours. A man is shot while tied to a chair. Tom hits a sheriff in the head with a vase (some blood).
  • Ep. 2: Nothing extremely violent. Tom punches a doctor knocking him out and he also takes down another doctor by pressing an IV full of a sedative against his arm.
  • Ep. 3: A man is shot (no blood). A whole group of soldiers are shot (off screen).
  • Ep. 5: Tom knocks a man out by punching him.
  • Ep. 7: Nothing to mention.
  • Ep. 8: Tom punches a man to get his gun.

  • Ep. 1: Tom goes to Larry's house and when he assumes Larry isn't home he decides to borrow some clothes. While he is going through his closet an arm falls on his head and then the camera shoots a close-up on Larry's face. Larry is dead and it appears that he's been dead for a while because he's very pale. It's a bit disturbing.
