Spoilers

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

Violence & Gore

  • A boy points a gun on a man and then turns it on himself, holding it under his chin and pulling the trigger. It fails.
  • A mother is beat severely by her daughter with an iPad, disturbing

Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • Many episodes have distressing stories riddled throughout. The episode 'Black Museum' in particular is incredibly dark and distressing, significantly more so than the rest of the series. It contains people stripped of their rights and subjected to pure torture, and well as a very gory and disturbing scene with a person who's pain is replaced with pleasure, and the experiences of the main villain at the end are truly horrifying.
