Common Sense Note

Parents need to know that this UK sci-fi horror series features intense moments of supernatural imagery, including scenes of zombies eating human flesh. There's a recurring motif of "falling ashes" meant to represent the impending apocalypse. Teen characters smoke, swear ("f--k" is bleeped), and discuss sex and sexuality frequently. Adult characters occasionally engage in sex with some glimpses of underwear.

Sexual Content

Two teenage lead characters have a near-constant dialogue around sex and sexuality reflective of their adolescent points of view. Adult characters have consensual casual sex with some minor nudity and underwear shots.

Violence

The violence on the show is supernatural, but also intense and occasionally graphic (zombies eating flesh with blood dripping down their faces). Characters engage in fantastic hand-to-hand combat with otherworldly creatures who are out to kill. There is also frequent disturbing imagery associated with an apocalypse.

Language

Frequent use of strong language, with words like "f--k" bleeped.

Social Behavior

While the show's overall message is a battle of good versus evil, characters often make iffy choices.

Consumerism

Not applicable

Drugs / Tobacco / Alcohol

Teenagers smoke and attempting to purchase cigarettes; occasional social drinking.
