Deadliest Warrior is probably the best show on Spike right now. It's extraordinarily entertaining and also rather educational (although some of the educational parts are things that you might not want your kids to know e.g. the amount of force it takes to crush a human windpipe or how long it would take to bleed out if you were shot in the side of the face). However, it is extremely violent, bloody, and gory. Bloody slashes, puncture wounds, and the occasional popping head all factor into this. The gore isn't much to worry about, it looks very unrealistic, rather like video game violence, with one exception. Occasionally they use pig corpses as targets, needless to say, these bleed real blood, and some weapons turn them into gore volcanos. Also, the hits on ballistics gel heads can look rather intense, but these are obviously not real people. The language isn't too bad, occasional hell, d*mn, and b*tch unbleeped and very occasional f**k and s**t bleeped. Messages are very mixed throughout. The good parts would be a healthy sense of competition that usually radiates from the experts (not always, but we'll get to that soon). The bad messages would be the fact that sometimes the announcer and the experts seem to glorify brutal murder. There is a disclaimer for this at the beginning of the show, but its not up long enough to read it. The other part is that not all of the experts show a healthy sense of competition. The one pair that really seemed to hate each other were the Spetznaz and the Green Beret. These two were trained to kill one another and there seemed to be true ire and bitterness between them. Overall, however, this show is fantastic. I recommend that everyone watch it. It's gory, its violent, and I absolutely love it.

its ok its a realistt computer simulation porgram

I absolutely love this show! It is extremely educational, too. It's true, there is a lot of blood, but is that not expected when you are trying to determine which of history's warriors are deadliest? An 11-year old might be able to take it if they're mature and 12+ is OK. This is nothing super bad, you can't hide gore from your children forever! Great show.

Rating: ON 13+ for intense violence/blood and some mild language

Can get pretty gory, but is very entertaining and actually somewhat educational.

First of all this show is very educational, it teaches you about different fighters from ancient and modern times but there is a lot of violence and a good amount of blood especially at the end when two live actors stage a fight but the worst is the fatalities at the end of the staged fight, but this is an AMAZING show!!!!

There is alot of violence, but that is all.

this show is really awesome! it has great warriors show off their weapons and skills and then see just how good of a warrior they are by fighting in a simulated battle. they have had individual warriors such as william wallace, armies such as green beret, and troops such as pirates and apache. If you're squeamish this show probably isn't for you. If you're OK with that, this show is great. It's not all violent either, it's very educational and one of my favorite shows.

excellent setup!I'm only 8 and i actually love this show!
