Sex & Nudity

Moderate
11 of 38 found this moderate
some female rear nudity
Very first episode starts with a naked man and woman laying face down on a bed. The man tries to put tight pants on the woman while bouncing her body up and down on the bed, pulls her half naked to chair and pulls a top up to cover her breasts.
Other episodes at strip bar where women dance on poles; occasional breast glimpses.
Two women in a bathroom make-out, one has her out clothing torn off (underwear still on) by the other (fully dressed) who moves down implying oral sex is about to happen (nothing shown).
First season; dialog and innuendo almost every episode, sometimes breasts and less occasionally butts. What may appear as frontal glimpses (very rare anyway) are covered or unfocussed.
Subsequent seasons same things, but somewhat less often.
