I would not personally say excessive, but it is a bit bloodier than most cop/mystery shows. most of the gore is offscreen, unfocused, or quickly cut away from, though there is a slightly lingering shot of a man's face after being hit with a buckshot.

Several characters punched or kicked in the face in or around the eye. One develops a "dead eye" after being kicked and another is hit in the eye with a hammer, though the visuals are not detailed and the camera quickly cuts away. Another character lost an eye in an off-screen attack and the resulting scar over her eyelid and face is shown, as well as a piece of gauze over it from a scene taking place shortly after. There are a couple mentions of taking an eye out.

Several scenes in the visiting room of a prison. Another scene in a character's cell, but it is dark and not very detailed. Some of the logistics of incarceration (sentencing, confinement, transferring of an incarcerated person) are discussed.
