Tulsa King parents guide: age rating and content

Tulsa King is made for adults. In the US it is rated TV-MA (mature audiences only), mainly for strong language, violence and drug content.

What is in it

Language
Very frequent strong profanity in almost every scene — the most consistent reason for the rating.
Violence
Shootouts, beatings and killings, some with blood; a few deaths are brutal (a man beaten to death, one left to burn), though the show rarely lingers on gore.
Drugs and alcohol
A legal cannabis business is central to the plot, along with ecstasy dealing and a bourbon distillery; characters drink often.
Sex
Some sexual situations and a strip-club scene, but nothing like the explicitness of many cable dramas.
