Common Side Effects (2024)

One offscreen sex scene in episode four. Sounds are heard, very brief.

Some mild and brief male nudity in episode two.

Violence is brief but sudden and very graphic. Characters die and are wounded by gunshot and knives.

Various uses of "fuck", "shit", and milder profanities throughout.

The entire concept of this show focuses on a miracle drug. Characters have graphic hallucinogenic visions frequently. Most drug use is purely for healing/regenerating, but is still severe and graphic.

Despite the comedic tone, there is an overarching unnerving tone through out.

This show is very disturbing/frightening and intense. There are sudden killings/gore, unnerving visuals, and graphic drug use which have very disturbing results. Characters are constantly on the run and put in situations that are hard to deal with, whether they are personal crises or life-threatening instances.
