- Severe
- A man is unexpectedly shot in the head. He is then shot once more in the chest, and his face is then slowly ran over by a large car. We don't see it, but we hear a graphic crunch, and a man vomits after witnessing this.
- There are multiple beatings which can get graphic.
- A character is violently sexually assaulted in an extremely graphic scene that lasts over a minute. Very distressing
- While there is no actual gore, there is TONS of blood and violence. There are shootouts in almost every episode, people suffering shots to the head to the chest and coughing up blood. There is one kill that is done by strangulation and one that is a self inflicted hanging. One character dies offscreen, but there are 62 onscreen deaths in the series.
- Seasons 1 to 2 have infrequent and relatively moderate violence. In these seasons, there are numerous beatings and a few shootings with bloody detail along with one scene showing a brutal strangulation. Seasons 3 to 5 have violence depicted throughout as well, staying mostly moderate in detail but sometimes escalating too bloody and occasionally graphic. Season 6 has some very graphic violent scenes towards the end with an explicitly gory curb stomp scene and other violent acts.
- The first season entering into the second season has very little violence, but this abruptly changes.
- Season 1 has very little violence and none of it is brutal or overly graphic. Most episodes in the season are completely absent of violence and all of the violent scenes are brief.
- This show contains numerous shocking and unexpected instances of graphic brutal violence.
