Sex & Nudity

Moderate
5 of 10 found this moderate
Contains several non-explicit sex scenes throughout the series as well as frank verbal references to sexual activity and/or desire.
One storyline revolves around a 40 year old man having an affair with a 16 year old girl. In one scene, it is implied that they engage in mutual masturbation.
Contains some mild nudity (including bare breasts and buttocks). Such instances include that of a woman breastfeeding her son.
