Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking

  • Alcohol is seen and consumed by several characters.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • A young boy is shot offscreen, you hear him scream as a gunshot is fired
  • Richard Roper is an arms dealer and is seen as a very nasty character. He is presented in a very negative way, and the scenes with him in are intense and (in episode 1) meeting him even causes Jonathan Pine to throw up because of how nervous he was. He is shown to be very influential and to abuse his power, to like destruction, and makes people around him uneasy. He will certainly frighten younger viewers if they understand what he does.

Spoilers

The Parents Guide items below may give away important plot points.

Violence & Gore

  • Two men get into a fight, and one punches the other repeatedly, the other is killed.
  • Episode 1 - A woman asks a man to bring alcohol to her hotel room. When he enters, she is seen with quite severe bruises and wounds on her face. It is revealed that she was attacked by another man. A man enters a woman's hotel room to find her dead body on the floor, with large amounts of blood on the body and around it. The camera lingers on the body for quite a while, and the detail is quite graphic.
  • Episode 2 - Pine is seen violently treating several people in this episode. In one scene, he throttles a man with a wire and throws him against the wall. In another scene, he is in a bar and then throws his glass against the wall, grabs the man opposite him and takes him outside, throwing him against a car and onto the ground. A woman walks into Pine's cottage, only to find what appears to be the scene of a murder. The rooms are wrecked and there is blood smeared on the floor and on the kitchen units. Pine sneaks up on the men who are kidnapping Roper's son and gets in a fight with them. He punches and kicks one of the men and violently twists his arm (it is later revealed that he broke the man's arm). He kicks the man when he is on the floor, claiming the violence needs to look real. The other man then retaliates by attacking him, punching him and hitting him with a saucepan several times in the face, the impact is not seen, but the aftermath is - Pine's face is covered with blood and there is a closeup shot of the wounds on his face. Blood pours from his nose and mouth.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • Episode 4- Joel sneaks into a house looking for a missing colleague. He finds the colleague and a woman dead in bed. Both are naked, and a large amount of blood is pooled around the floor. The scene is short, but it's very graphic and disturbing.
  • Episode 1 - The scene where Sophie Alekan is found dead in the hotel room (see violence & gore) is quite frightening and intense as Pine tries to wake her and then sobs next to her.
  • Episode 2 - Roper's family and friends are in a restaurant, some are dancing and everyone is having a good time. Suddenly, they are interrupted by two men who claim they are robbers. They grab Roper's son by the neck and point a pistol at his head. They demand all the money and jewellery that they have, to which Roper agrees as he fears for his son's life. Roper says that they can give the robbers $100,000 if they give his son back, but they disagree and drag his son away. Jonathan Pine is hiding in the kitchen and gets in a fight with them (see violence & gore). Overall, very sudden and intense, but it is implied that the robbery was set up and the "robbers" were working with Pine. Jonathan Pine acts very harshly and violently towards people in this episode (see violence & gore) but this is because he is pretending to be someone else Some of Roper's colleagues are in Pine's bedroom as he recovers from his fight (see violence & gore) and they imply that he is going to be tortured to reveal his true identity, describing some techniques on how this might be done which is quite intimidating.
