Sex & Nudity

Mild
3 of 7 found this mild
We briefly see a picture of Nate and Brenda having sex. They're both naked but we only see Nate's buttocks.

Violence & Gore

Moderate
3 of 5 found this moderate
At the beginning, a gay couple is attacked. One of the guys escapes, but the other is brutally beaten to death with metal bats. Some bloody injuries are shown. Very graphic.
A dead man's "ghost" talks to Dave. We see some bloody injuries on his head.

Profanity

Lots of uses of "fuck" and "shit".

Frightening & Intense Scenes

Severe
3 of 5 found this severe
This is easily one of the most graphic and violent episodes of the show.
The opening scene is extremely shocking, tragic and depressing. A gay man is brutally beaten to death just for being it.
As in previous episodes, Billy's behavior is extremely bizarre and disturbing.
The ending is extremely pessimistic and depressing.
Rated TV-MA for strong brutal violence and pervasive language.
