Sex & Nudity

  • A man streaks on the beach. His bare butt is visible.
  • Alyssa is shown wearing only a bloody shirt, but no nudity shown though.
  • In Season 1, Two teenagers kiss passionately. James puts his hand on Alyssa's breasts, but the scene is very brief and it only lasts for a few seconds.
  • In Season 2, a man flashes his privates in front a young woman, but the scene is off camera and it is brief.
  • Throughout Season 2, there are a lot of sexual references and some implied sex scenes.
  • A man puts a teenager's hand on his penis.
  • A girl removes her underwear while wearing her dress. No nudity is shown.
  • Brief shots of James masturbating. Alyssa is obsessed with sex to a degree that physical acts often come up in conversation. James calls her a nymphomaniac, and she occasionally asks for him to perform oral sex and other acts on her. She attempts oral sex on James but he does not respond. The teens also watch porn in a hotel room but are detached from the experience. Alyssa initiates sex with a stranger but does not complete the act.

Violence & Gore

  • Lots of violence throughout. However, the show is very violent and it has very gory images.
  • A dog is injured, and someone runs it over with a car to euthanize it. The actual moment is not shown, but you see the car is about to crash the dog and you hear gore.
  • A man gets stabbed on the leg and the knife stays there for a while. Later in the episode, he pulls it out and blood starts to spurt out. Not that scary.
  • As James fantasizes about killing Alyssa, viewers see it play out in scenes that flash between reality and the bloody act he ponders. He also talks about his murderous desires and describes killings of animals he's done in the past, with victims shown. In one scene he punches his dad; in another he burns his hand in a fry vat. An actual murder occurs and it is bloody. James is sexually molested by an older man in a restroom, while Alyssa is nearly raped.

Profanity

  • Strong language. Words like "fuck," "shit," "cunt," etc. are used throughout, with "fucking" itself being censored in the title both in the intro, and marketing materials as seen above.
  • There are uses of "shit", "bitch", "ass", "dick", "pussy", "piss", etc.
  • Also the title of the actual show is explicit
  • 79 uses of the word "fuck" throughout, with the word itself being censored in the title both in the show itself and in marketing.
  • Everything goes, including "fuck" in all its forms, "shit," "bullshit," and "damn." Name-calling like "dickhead," "bitch," and "cunt" as well.

Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking

  • Kids are shown drinking and smoking throughout the show.
  • Rarely adults drink and/or smoke. Alyssa's stepfather gives her a beer.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • Although the series is comedic, it has a dark undertone as well as obvious sad scenes and is emotionally distressing in various incidences.
  • A girl is forced to eat lipstick by her mother.
  • This show has sad elements as both the protagonists are very troubled teenagers.

Spoilers

The Parents Guide items below may give away important plot points.

Sex & Nudity

  • James is sexually assaulted. This is not graphic.
  • A man attempts to rape Alyssa but he is stopped by James.
  • James finds a man's camera which shows videos of him raping young girls. It is not graphic, but quite disturbing.
  • There is oral sex between two minors, but no nudity and the scene ends quickly.

Violence & Gore

  • A man is murdered via stabbed to the neck after attempting to rape a young girl. Tons of blood is shown spewing out of his throat accompanied by the man gagging on his own blood.
  • Animal harm. We hear gore, but nothing explicit.
  • A girl shoots the two protagonists point blank in the head. The scene is quite bloody, but it turns out that she was only imagining it, and the protagonists are actually safe.
  • A girl accidentally kills a man by dropping a loaded gun and falls asleep on top of him. In the morning, she hides him in a wardrobe of her motel room.
  • Season 2, like the first season, is also high on violence and full of blood for the entirety of the series.
  • A dog dies unexpectedly. You see it lying on the floor whimpering in pain, and it is very emotional.

Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking

  • A guy is revealed to be a drug dealer.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • Man is shown being murdered. This may be intense to some viewers.
  • A young boy watches his mom commit suicide by driving her car into a lake. This may frighten some viewers.
  • A girl very nearly gets raped by an elder man, this brief scene is very distressing as the girl cries and screams (especially with the viewer's knowledge of the man's highly abusive almost psychotic doings - which we see brief images of throughout the series).
  • The very gory images shown throughout the series are distressing and are intense, particularly a man's murder which is particularly gory.
