Sex & Nudity
-
- Some sexual references and suggestive flirting.
- Two brief sensual scenes. Nothing is seen other than torsos and faces. You quickly see a butt once. They're probably a few seconds each.
- Kissing and one funny striptease scene.
- A quick scene in which 2 characters go into a bathroom and another character kneels down to presumably perform oral sex. There's no nudity and it immediately cuts to the next scene.
- 2 extremely distant nude photos of models shown for comedic effect.
Violence & Gore
-
- A couple mentions of gay men being attacked and murdered for their sexuality.
- Police attack groups of gay men. Protesters march on city hall, disconnecting power and disabling a cable car. A character reminisces about gay activists rioting in Spain, saying, "There was blood literally running in the gutter."
Profanity
-
- 15 uses of the word "fuck.
- 6 uses of the word "shit".
- Constant uses of slurs against the gay community--including "f*ggot", "queers", etc.
Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking
-
- Characters are seen drinking different varieties of alcohol in several scenes, and Dan White is clearly drunk in one scene. Scott is clearly seen smoking pot in a couple scenes, plus tobacco use is frequent.
Frightening & Intense Scenes
-
- A couple of scenes show people who have been beaten, and one shot of a man's dead body after a fatal hate crime (some blood is seen on the shirt).
Spoilers
Violence & Gore
- The assassination scene shows the first bullet hitting Harvey in the hand; skin flies on impact. The next two thud into each of his shoulders. Harvey finds himself kneeling on the floor, staring out the window as Dan White administers a final, unseen bullet to the back of his head.
- Dan White also kills San Francisco's mayor, but the murder takes place behind closed doors, the gunshots muffled.
- Before all of that, Harvey receives two death threatsone of them graphically illustrated. Jack hangs himself. (We see the dangling corpse.) And Harvey mentions that of his four long-term partners, three have tried to commit suicide.
