Sex & Nudity

Mild
23 of 37 found this mild
There are some conversations about sex, including direct references to brothels and one night stands.
There's a stripper season 1 episode 17 dancing and you see some of her rear.
Occasional scenes of sex, nothing graphic

Violence & Gore

Moderate
13 of 27 found this moderate
In quite a lot of episodes, people get tortured for hours and moderate amounts of blood are shown.
Seasons four and five are more violent than the other seasons, with the protagonists killing humans now, every death has lots of blood and they imply that several characters get eaten alive.
The main character is a vampire and is frequently seen drinking blood.
The protagonists rarely use guns, but favor medieval weaponry.
Some death scenes are quite gruesome, with dismemberments, decapitations and frequent stabbings (vampires turn to ash when they are killed).

Profanity

Social drinking.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

Moderate

The show is very dark (Twice as dark as Buffy)
About half of the episodes have a big sense of threat, but when they do, it is moderately frightening.
The show walks the thin line between PG-13 and R
