Sex & Nudity

There's a long scene in a strip club where we see nudity in almost all the shots. Anyways, it is rarely shown in detail.
A man has sex with a woman. The scene shows them climaxing, the man being on top of her. They then lie in bed naked, her breasts are visible.
Breast nudity at a strip club.

Not much until the final 10 minutes.
In the end, some cops brutally hit some men. No blood but we do hear the sound of the hits.

Constant uses of "fuck" and "shit".

Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking

No drug use. We do see some drugs being sold, and many conversations are about the drug business.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

While there's just a scene of violence in the episode, the scene is extremely violent and graphic.
Cops brutally hit some men without a motivation.
Three men brutally attack some other men. One of them shoots another in the leg with a lot of blood spurting out.
