threat and horror
A man raises a hand as if to strike his wife, but they immediately embrace. A man is killed in a car crash, but no impact or aftermath is seen. There is a mild action sequence involving moving trams.
language
There is use of mild bad language ('turd', 'shit', 'piss', 'balls'), as well as milder terms such as 'hell', 'damn', 'screw', 'moron' and 'God'.
sex
There is word play over the term 'screw'. A man claims to have made money from 'adult books' and 'strip clubs'.
drugs
There is a cautionary reference to 'getting stoned', as well as a rhetorical reference to TV being like 'heroin' for children.
