Somewhat ambiguous? Character initially resists sex, including by physical struggle, then appears to consent.

Main character, Nucky, cheats multiple times. In S3E5, his wife catches him and his affair partner together in a dress shop when he told her he’d be out of town.

Police officers, sheriffs, and federal agents are almost universally portrayed as hopelessly corrupt and/or incompetent - or so bigoted, brutal or manipulative in their enforcement of the law that they end up less sympathetic than the criminal protagonists.
