Why We Rated This for Ages 14–18

What to watch out for

• Messages:

  The people in the show's world are born into a fairly rigid caste system, and their rating classification plays an important role in defining their life. It's possible, but very difficult, to move from one to another. This world seems to be controlled by powerful business interests rather than a government; the wealthy often treat those in lower classes badly, and the law does little to prevent this abuse.
• Violence:

  A fair number of action sequences, including gunfights, fistfights, bombs, car chases, etc. Some characters die, though there's little blood or gore. Some scenes might be too intense for younger kids, including shots in a morgue featuring dead bodies. There's also a disturbing rape scene.
• Sex:

  No nudity, but some scenes clearly suggest sexual activity.
• Language:

  Not much swearing. "Crap" is about as bad as it gets.
• Consumerism:

  No endorsements for any products or companies in our universe, but a key part of the plot concerns the efforts of Vexcor, a massive corporation in a parallel universe that's determined to exploit this one.
• Drinking, drugs, & smoking:

  Characters are shown drinking at night clubs and in other social situations. One villain sometimes slips drugs into women's drinks. Charlie Jade regularly takes a special drug designed to inhibit his psychic visions.
