No one is shown to be an addict but there are many discussions of whether or not certain characters were addicted, if they relapsed, if they died by overdose, etc.

Not exactly; but a character almost does when posthumous bodily fluids (from stomach/intestines/bowels) are held up in a bag in the morgue.

There is a lot of public criticism of the police, and our story follows a Black detective; there is a lot of the police Chief trying to mop up a PR mess by using Black detectives as the face of the investigation.

There is quite a bit of blood/fire in scenes involving a young Black man as the victim, and a young Black woman as the victim. There are also case file photos that include blood, as well as flashbacks.

The very first scene involves a gunshot wound to the chest/neck. Most of the show hinges on gun violence.
