There are references to criminals using illegal drugs as part of their activities, with some scenes showing the aftermath of drug use, such as discovering drug paraphernalia or individuals experiencing withdrawal, but drug use is not explicitly shown in detail.

Child abuse, sexual assault, and murder are central themes that drive the investigations, explored through victim testimonies and the motivations of perpetrators. The show also touches on corruption within law enforcement, the ethics of vigilantism, and the lasting psychological impact of violence on victims and investigators.
