Spoilers

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

Violence & Gore

  • A cashier at a grocery store gets shot onscreen, and blood splatters on the shop window. He then gets executed by gunshot (offscreen). This is overall bloody and unsettling.
  • A man receives a jar full of lemonade and at the bottom are someone's eye balls.
  • A man is strangled to death by a wire. A man then cuts his eye out, this is offscreen, we see some blood on the body's face, the eye is then put into a wine glass.
  • A woman is unexpectedly shot point blank in the head. Blood sprays all over two people.
  • There is one scene in the first episode in which Del Rio shoots multiple people to death. Quite intense.
  • There is a quick but violent shootout taking place in a church during a baptism. Manny innocents die, although this is bloodless. Then, one of the shooters is shot in the stomach, splattering blood onto a wall. Then, another assailant is shot in the head before he kills the baby.
  • A man is tortured by having his toenails ripped of with a pair of pliers. The entire process is seen onscreen, with blood and some gore. This might be the most graphic scene in the entire series.
  • A cartel leader is unexpectedly shot in the head with a shotgun. You can clearly see his head breaking apart, with tons of blood splattering everywhere. This is very fast, but still incredibly gory and graphic.
  • A husband and wife are unexpectedly hit by an oncoming truck, we see this twice.
  • Two main characters are shot. The woman is shot in the chest, and blood splatters on the curtain. The man is shot in the head, and blood bursts out, splattering the wall behind.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • A main character of the third season, Ben, who is also Wendy's brother, has a mental illness. Near the end of Season 3, Wendy must have him shot and killed by hitmen. While we don't see or hear him get shot, it is massively implied, and Wendy is seen sobbing in her vehicle as Marty tries to comfort her through the phone. Overall, it is undoubtedly the most emotional and depressing scene of the entire series
  • It is implied that a pregnant woman's abdomen has been cut open, and it is revealed that the baby has been extracted from the mother's abdomen. This is easily one of the most disturbing moments of the show.
  • A man tries to drown his own baby. However, he regrets and stops before the baby dies.
