Spoilers

The Parents Guide items below may give away important plot points.

Sex & Nudity

  • There is a relationship between adopted siblings, though technically legal, it could still be considered incest.
  • A woman is seen in a bathtub without any clothes. There is no nudity at all and it is not meant to be sexual, as she is covered in blood and attempting to clean it off.
  • In Season 2 there are a couple of scenes that take place in a 1960's strip club. Ladies are seen dancing in underwear in the background of these scenes. Nothing too graphic.
  • Men and a woman take a sauna bath nakedly together. No nudity is exposed due to steam.
  • A man ties up another man to help keep him sober. The man that ties him up says, "If I see a boner I'm out." Though they are siblings and it's meant to be comical, people might still think it's incest.
  • In the season 3, there is a passionate kiss between Luther and Sloane
  • Luther goes to a stand and buys condoms and he says "for sex, which is a thing I do now" leading to Luther and Sloane having sex offscreen.

Violence & Gore

  • A kid kills a lot of people in a meeting with an axe. Many dismembered arms and body parts are seen and the whole room ends up covered in blood. A dead man with his organs spilling out is on screen for a few seconds.
  • A man is tortured and killed from electrocution to the chest and ears
  • A character uses a Violin Bow to slash a characters throat. Very gory scene, contains lots of blood. The other character can be seen and heard choking on the blood with it spurting out. Very gruesome.
  • One character puts a glass eyeball into a dead character and takes it out in one scene. There is no blood spurt, extreme gore, etc., but it shot close to the face and in full view of what is going on.
  • A tractor pins Diego down by his foot. He is rescued and doesn't appear to be injured.
  • A character hallucinates and blood and other types of gore are seen surrounding them. Only really gory thing are a large number of eyeballs seen in a tray. However the music lowers the shock factor of the scene and the vision that follows is scary but fast paced.
  • There's one scene where a teenage boy kills a lot of people in a meeting with an axe, people's arms and half ripped off body can be seen hanging from the ceiling. This is probably the goriest scene in the series.
  • In season 1 Leonard gets punched, kicked, and thrown around by 3 guys leading to him losing an eye.
  • In season 2 it gets more gory and you see more disturbing bloody scenes.
  • Klaus is impaled by a large horn. Lots of blood spray and quite graphic - in slow motion.

Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking

  • 5 gets drunk in an episode. He is a 58 year old in the body of a 13 year old due to a time travel accident.
  • A man drives an ice cream truck not long after drinking at least half a bottle of vodka and taking a pill, since another man's arm is temporarily out of commission from being shot and he must pay attention to the tracking device he planted on another vehicle.
  • In Season 2, two characters get high on laughing gas (nitrous oxide)
  • Vanya is captured and given LSD with an extended drug trip sequence near the end of season 2

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • It's implied that one of the characters was experimented on (hulk or Captain America style). He's twice the size of a normal man and his whole upper body is covered in hair and scars. It's not shot in a scary way, but his body could be unsettling.
  • Klaus has regular flashbacks to childhood trauma of his father locking him in a crypt and adulthood trauma of the Vietnam War.
  • Diego has to pull out his Moms cords (she is a robot), which will kill her, the scene might upset viewers because it is very emotional and Diego cries while he does it.
  • Allison's throat gets cut open. Some may find this graphic due to the intensity and blood.
  • A boy runs away from his home and drowns in a lake. He's seen unconscious but ultimately survives.
  • After Ben talks to Vanya in the ethereal dimension. He slowly fades away. Not intense but very emotional.
  • Reginald Hargreeves true identity although it's only seen from behind will no doubt frighten viewers.
  • Vanya is tortured in an episode. Frightening and intense but what follows as she embraces her powers once more is what will frighten viewers.
  • A character is known to be dead before the events of the series, however what's frightening is that the circumstances of his death are left unknown.
  • Season 3 shows a character dying and going to 'heaven'. He then proceeds to relive some of his childhood trauma by watching the kid version of himself being left to die in a mausoleum by his father. Could be distressing for some viewers as the father shows no emotion and is implied to have done this several times to test the kid's power.
  • One sibling uses mind control to rape there brother.
