Parent Verdict

Among the most extreme content on mainstream TV: exploding bodies, sexual violence, explicit orgy episodes, constant profanity, and drug use, all deliberately transgressive. Teens are drawn by the superhero branding; the show is aimed squarely at adults. 18+ and genuinely not for families.
