A few times over season 1, rape or sexual assault is mentioned or discussed in the background. An example of this is when a character has to leave early because she "needs to interview a rape victim in 10 mins". S1E4: at the beginning of the episode, a woman reports a gang rape and the episode follows the police officers tracking down the perpetrators. One of the perpetrators calls his arrest "bullshit" as he is getting pushed into the police vehicle: the victim is presumed to be in hearing distance. She is later interviewed in an emotional scene. A cop harasses and invades the personal space of his gay female colleague and makes comments about her having a threesome with him and another woman. He later walks in on her changing and harasses and kisses her. Worthy of note: A female character is in a violent relationship, her male intimate partner is a cop. He is shown living life without consequences. S1E9: a video is shown of a woman being beaten by a group of ambushers. At one point the assailants spread her legs and break her thigh bone with a baseball bat (24:30).
