Task: parents' guide

The first robbery ends with four people gunned down and blood spattered on the walls. Later episodes add more shootings, a fatal stabbing, a trooper run down by a truck, and murder victims dumped and later found, plus fistfights and pistol-whipping.

Profanity is constant: Plugged In counted about 75 f-words and 15 s-words in the first episode alone, along with motherf---er, a crude word for female anatomy, bitch, ass and frequent misuse of God's and Jesus' names.

A couple kiss passionately and pull off their shirts on the way to sex before being interrupted, and a man's bare backside is briefly shown. Some crude sexual jokes and talk about relationships. No explicit sex scene is reported.

Characters smoke marijuana and cigarettes and drink beer and liquor, sometimes until visibly drunk. The grieving FBI agent leans on alcohol to get to sleep, his daughter drinks heavily at a party, and the plot turns on a bag of stolen fentanyl.

Steady dread rather than shocks: home break-ins, gunfights in the woods, and a kidnapped young boy kept in hiding while armed men search for him. Several characters mourn murdered relatives, and one main character dies in another's arms.
