NINETEEN EIGHTY-FOUR is a British TV adaptation of the dystopian novel by George Orwell, in which a man in an oppressive future society attempts to break loose from the regime.
violence
A man is kicked and another tortured. References are made to hangings, and a man is asked if he would be willing to commit murder or throw acid into a child's face.
threat and horror
A bleak tone runs throughout, as people live in an oppressive society and in fear of capture and torture. It is implied people are tortured using a futuristic device, and a man groans and winces in pain. He is heard sobbing as his torturer mocks him and his ideals. People are seen in states of distress, and a man becomes panicked when shown a torture device intended to allow rats to gnaw at his face.
sex
References are made to erotic literature and pornography. In the society, 'love' is described as a "sex crime". People are seen kissing, and one woman refers to 'making love' and the feeling it gives her.
additional issues
There are occasional references to suicide and drug dealing. There is very mild bad language ('damn'), and scenes in which adults drink alcohol.
