Graphic for TV: a man is caught by a steel cable and cut in half, with his upper body and trailing intestines shown; a bitten-off leg turns up and is kept in a cooler. The creature wrecks boats and a house and drags people under.

Strong and frequent: two detailed counts found about ten or more f-words in the first episode alone, plus s-words, 'bitch' and roughly ten misuses of God's or Jesus' name. Local oaths like 'Jumpin' Jesus' add to it.

Little romance: a couple kisses and talks about moving in together. The issue is nudity: the lead's adult son appears fully naked, with brief full-frontal nudity, in a nonsexual scene on an iceberg, and a recap also describes him walking naked in a dream.

Drinking is everywhere: the town's main employer makes vodka and locals down beer and shots at the pub. A character admits drinking five or six beers before piloting a boat and having taken psychedelic mushrooms. Some cigarette smoking.

Sustained dread and sudden attacks from a mostly unseen creature, a claustrophobic submarine showdown, a ghostly figure stalking one son, and residents sickened by tainted water who hallucinate and lash out. A flamingo is shot dead, and grief hangs over the family.
