RAIN DOGS is a British comedy drama series; in this episode, a struggling single mother is evicted from her flat on the same day that her estranged friend is released from prison.
language
There use of strong language (‘f**k’, ‘motherf**ker’). Milder terms include ‘pussy’, ‘prick’, ‘cock’, ‘twat’, ‘wanker’, ‘bitch’, ‘shit’, ‘arsehole’ and ‘arse’.
sex
It is implied that one man fellates another through a glory hole in a public bathroom; we hear brief graphic noises, but the visual detail is concealed by the toilet stall doors. There are also moderate crude references to masturbation, oral sex and genitalia.
sexual violence and sexual threat
A man tricks a vulnerable woman into his home under false pretences and then attempts to coerce her into performing sexual acts in return for shelter for herself and her child; the woman evades him by locking herself in another room and calling a friend for aid. There is a moderately crude reference to one prison inmate protecting another from sexual violence, and in another scene a man makes a passing joke about being mistaken for a ‘nonce’.
additional issues
There is infrequent moderate violence. In one scene a man grabs a woman by the throat and lifts his hand to strike her before releasing her instead. A person makes a snide comment about ‘foreign’ people being given special treatment, but discrimination is not condoned. There are mild upsetting scenes involving homelessness. Other issues include an undetailed reference to eating disorders, and references to recovery from alcoholism.

sex
A man masturbates, without graphic detail, as he watches women in skimpy costumes performing in a peep show establishment. In another scene, a man masturbates under a quilt as a woman cleans his flat, but they are friends and she is unfazed by the activity. The man is a painter and the walls of the flat are covered with his paintings of naked women and female genitalia. There are numerous strong and occasionally crude sex references, including comments about masturbation, oral sex, female body parts, and a man is told that it is “bad etiquette to spunk on a peep show window”. A woman rides a man vigorously on a chair which is positioned near his father’s coffin at a funeral home.
sexual violence and sexual threat
In banter with an older man with whom she has a friendly relationship and talks openly about sex, a woman jokes, “You’re like a dad to me. One who rapes me”.
additional issues

A man confesses to beating his wife in the past, but says he now regrets it and has found other ways to channel his aggression. There is brief use of marijuana and a reference to driving under the influence of ecstasy.
