Common Sense Note

Parents need to know that this adult-targeted drama portrays life more or less as it was in the post-Civil War "wild" West. That means you'll hear unbleeped language (including "s--t") along with racist terms like the N-word, "darky," and "chink," and see realistically violent conflict that results from stabbings, shootings and the like. Sexual content isn't graphic, but there's some sexual innuendo, kissing, and implied sex. Some characters drink socially, too, and occasionally get drunk.

Sexual Content

Sexual innuendo, with kissing and implied intercourse. Some characters are prostitutes.

Violence

Violence isn't constant, but it is realistic and bloody, with injuries caused by guns, arrows, knives, etc.

Language

Unbleeped swearing includes "s--t," "damn," and "hell" (which, obviously, is in the title, too). Characters also use racist terms like "darky," "chink," and the N-word.

Social Behavior

The general mood is pretty bleak, with major themes of revenge, corruption, and greed. There's generally little sense of legality, either.

Consumerism

Not applicable

Drugs / Tobacco / Alcohol

Some social drinking, occasionally to the point of drunkenness.
