additional issues
There are also scenes of moderate threat and violence. Crime scene photographs show graphic bloody injuries from a woman's murder, but these are not depicted in a close-up manner. Sex references include brief mention to a woman 'sexting'. There is infrequent use of strong language ('f**k'), accompanied by other milder terms ('prick', 'shite', 'frickin'', 'bloody', 'piss', 'tits', 'Jesus', 'screwed', 'hell' and 'God').
