Sex & Nudity

  • Throughout the series couples are shown to embrace or kiss. In keeping with the series' family friendly rating kisses range from chaste to mild in passion. For instance in season 8, the female protagonist shows hesitancy towards the idea of publicly holding the hand of the man courting her.

Violence & Gore

  • A character is roughly pulled off his horse, then kicked in the stomach. Compared to the rest of the show, it's pretty unexpected and shocking.
  • There is only 1 on-screen death in the series.
  • It is implied that 47 men were killed in a mine explosion at the start of the series. Not shown, but there is a funeral scene that shows all of the coffins.
  • Several characters are shot during the show, but the injury or blood are not shown. Extremely mild.

Profanity

  • Very clean. No language or profanity.
  • H*** and D*** are used a few times in the first two seasons. I'm guessing that Hallmark censored them for television, but these swears are audible in the DVD collection. The last time profanity was used on WCTH is the rather shocking utterance of "d*** fool" by Mr. Thatcher in season two. Fans must have complained, because seasons 3-7 are clean.

Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking

  • There is a saloon where men go to drink alcohol. No drugs.
  • (S1) One character struggles with alcoholism due to intense survivor's guilt.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

Spoilers

Violence & Gore

  • (S. 5) It is heavily implied that Jack Thornton is squashed by a falling boulder while on a mission with his fellow mounties
  • (S9) An episode ends with a main character and horse being hit by a car. It cuts to black so the accident is not show. However, the character and horse are both injured in the next episode. May be distressing to younger viewers.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • A character is presumably swept away by a mudslide. There are some tense moments as the other characters try to find him.
