Positive Messages
Although there's a sense that justice prevails, the plot generally plays up danger and uncertainty and lingers on the distress of and violence against women in a way that feels exploitative.
Positive Role Models & Representations
Violence
This show's plotline revolves around the kidnaping of three women, and the nefarious plans for them. Sudden moments of violence include a point-blank shooting that leaves windows covered with blood, multiple characters being tased into unconsciousness, kidnapings, a bar fight with two women pushing and slapping each other. We see a body wrapped in plastic and duct taped.
Sex
Characters have sex, which we see as closeups on faces and bare shoulders while romantic music plays. A sex worker asks a potential client "Wanna party?" and climbs into his truck; she then sits on his lap and kisses him. Sex is a plot complication, i.e. infidelity and a love triangle.
Language
Language includes "asshole," "hell," "crap," "ass," "damn," and "dick" (meaning someone who is rude).
Consumerism
