Sex & Nudity
-
- Brief male butt in non-sexual scenes.
- Two nurses are shown having sex (the man's buttocks are fully shown).
- A woman walks in on a man and woman having sex
- Moderate amount of explicit sexual content including nudity and aberrant behavior including incest. Brief nudity but no bare breasts or full frontal scenes. Some scenes of sex.
- A man gets out Vaseline and a women's underwear magazine and begins to masturbate briefly before he is interrupted. Shot from behind so nothing is seen
- Surgery scene with partially nude male and female cadaver. Breast shown for several seconds in non-sexual manner.
- An episode shows the doctor performing an experiment on a naked dead woman. Her breasts are exposed.
- Characters have sex with rhythmic movements and groaning but no nudity. A man watching a couple kiss grabs his crotch suggestively; we see an erection through his pants and another character refers to his "tumescence." LGBTQ+ characters are treated as if they're disturbed; the show clearly doesn't approve of this treatment. Expect same- and opposite-sex kissing, dating, flirting, and sex.
- How did Ratched procure the job, you ask? Almost immediately after arriving at Lucia, she witnesses Nurse Amelia Emerson (Emily Mest) having sex with a patient. It takes very little convincing for Amelia to quit her job and she soon begins working at the hospital.
- There's also a conversation between Ratched and Dr. Richard Hanover (Jon Jon Briones) where they discuss patients throwing excrement and ejaculate when they're upset. This action doesn't manifest on screen, but the scene definitely leaves you picturing things you'd rather not.
- Throughout the series, bare buttocks are shown and sexual acts take place, however there is no full frontal nudity.
Violence & Gore
-
- Multiple men are stabbed (blood and gore shown). Horrific and disturbing.
- A man smashes another man's head onto a toilet multiple times. Very graphic his crushed head is shown briefly.
- Generally contains strong, bloody violence including scenes of torture and medical settings. Some scenes are fairly graphic. There is a couple lobotomy scenes that go wrong, which can be disturbing
- A man is boiled alive, to the point of almost death. We see graphic close up scenes of him escaping with skin sloughing off.
- A guys arms are sawed/snapped off whilst he is conscious (although on drugs) - extremely graphic and bloody.
- Two people have their eyes gouged with scissors while sleeping. One is partially offscreen while the other is briefly shown in graphic detail with the eyes gone (extremely gory and brutal).
- Several priests are brutally murdered in the first five minutes of the premiere episode. Viewers see one man lying dead in a bathtub with his throat slit, and shortly afterward another man's head is smashed to a pulp against a toilet seat. The killer is Edmund Tolleson (Finn Wittrock), who is subsequently arrested and sentenced to spend 120 days in Lucia State Hospital, the very same institution where Mildred Ratched has blackmailed her way into a nursing position.
Profanity
-
- Swearing gets worse as show goes on. Infrequent use of fuck, then at around episode 6, uses become frequent. They tend to come from mental patients at the hospital.
- The F-WORDS start 26 minutes into the third episode ad continue.
- Language includes "damn," "hell," "m--t."
- 25 uses of fuck.
Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking
-
- A man drinks hard liquor at a bar.
- A character frequently is seeing abusing drugs. He is also called a "dope fiend".
- A character is seen inhaling Nitrous Oxide, injecting Amphetamines and abusing other substances. In one episode this same character is seen on LSD.
- Characters smoke cigarettes; patients take psychotropic drugs, some prescribed, some not. Scenes take place at bars with characters drinking; no one acts drunk.
Frightening & Intense Scenes
-
- Perhaps the most terrifying moment in the first episode is when Ratched manipulates the emotions of an emotionally unstable patient named Salvatore, which prompts him to commit suicide. Not only does she tell Salvatore that he'll never leave Lucia, but she also brings him to Dr. Hanover's office so that he can use the doctor's letter open to kill himself.
