Shut Eye

Clients talk about their most personal problems with family, marriage, work; psychics cynically exploit them for money and look for opportunities to fleece them harder. Viewers may learn more about people of Romani heritage, but since all the Roma characters in this show are thieves and criminals, that's a mixed blessing. 

Violence used to control characters, especially women: A man hits a woman on the head with a ceremonial bowl, steals money, and warns her not to sell her psychic services on his turf; a woman puts a cigarette out on another woman's leg to convince her to talk; men spit on a woman as part of a ceremony of judgment; a woman's face is slashed slowly and clinically on-screen as she screams in agony. Casual references to an ethnic group killing a different ethnic group if they compete in a business venture.

Cursing: multiple uses of "f--k," "damn," "hell," "a--hole," and "s--t," sometimes for emphasis, sometimes to insult other characters. People of Romani heritage are referred to as "gypsies," a slur. A man refers to a woman's "fat ass"; vulgar references to sex and body parts ("pricks," "c--t"). A woman calls another man a "p---y" to say he's cowardly.
