Sex & Nudity

  • Some characters make crude remarks in passing, such as having one's "dick on the line", and in one episode, titled "Add Sex And Stir", the Frontline team misconstrue a story to one about lesbians in sport. Another episode, which involves a story about table-top dancers, depicts a woman in a strip club dancing in revealing attire. A promo for the story is later shown featuring close-ups of various dancers to the song "Let's Talk About Sex".
  • Contains mild breast nudity in at least two episodes, including one involving a hidden camera story where shoplifters in changing rooms are shamed by having their indiscretion exposed (as well as their breasts).
  • Contains at least one prolonged freeze frame of somebody's buttocks. Due to the manner in which the series was filmed, this particular instance of nudity is quite blurry.

Violence & Gore

  • Contains references to acts of violence and death, including sexual violence.

Profanity

  • Contains frequent mild coarse language, including terms such as "shit", "bullshit", "bitch", "pissed off" and "dickhead".
  • Any uses of "fuck" (which tend to be quite aggressive) are partially, if not wholly obscured with silence. In one episode, a character describes a character by spelling out C-U-N but the scene ends before he can complete the word.
  • Also contains very mild coarse language such as "crap" and "arse", and uses of derogatory terms for minorities (such as "wog" and "poofter").

Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking

  • Contains occasional depictions of characters casually smoking and/or drinking throughout the series. In some scenes, characters become intoxicated as a result of substance misuse. In at least one episode, characters appear to be smoking a joint.
  • Also contains very mild verbal references to illicit drugs.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • Contains verbal references to sexual violence, child abuse, suicide and other acts that may cause discomfort to viewers.
