I flippin' love this show. Maybe I have the strongest stomach in the world? I don't even flinch when I see the gore. But now that I think about it, I suggest you prepare for a lot of gore. I have watched every single episode, it has an amazing story line, and the visual effects are great.

GREAT show, but too much gore. Fantastic if you're over 13.

brief sexual content.brief drug.some language.strong violence and gore

Heroes is a pretty cool show, but it's very gory. For instance, even on the 1st episode, a woman wakes up inside her garage to find it completely COVERED in blood and bloody dead bodies all over the floor. Guts (At least I think it was guts.) were spilled and one guy even had a razor in his neck. Also, a teenager is pushed into wooden planks. When her "friend" picks her up, there's a long nail in her neck. But, the good thing is that she can regenerate body parts. When she comes back to life, her chest is wide open and all the meat and bones and... well, I guess you understand. There's also a little stripping. They don&'t show anything, but it's a little graphic. There's language like "Bi***" and "D***" and other words. There are some drugs in it too. A guy can paint the future (If someone will die, he paints their dead body.) as long as he's high on drugs. Other than all that, it's a great show for teens!

I LOVEEEEEEEE this show! :) I'm only on season 1, though, but I'm sooo addicted!! There's plently of sex stuff in this season, I mean one of the main characters is/was a stripper... and there's violence, too. But I think this is an amazing show. I love how they make you think, the person who made it was genius! :)

I watched this show when I was only 12, and none of the violence bothered me. Gory, yes, but mature tweens will be able to handle it. As for the sex, I closed my eyes only once in the first season, then everything after that was moderate (it was a stripper scene). Heroes tells a complicated story that intertwines the lives of numerous characters and how they adjust to their newfound powers. Those that are excited about it set out to make a difference and emulate the superheroes that they've read about in comic books. Others, however, have some powers that are dangerous to themselves and seek to live normal lives. What I liked most about it was its complexity. The slightest details are important, which makes for great twists and turns. When I had the opportunity to visit the set of the show in LA, I was eager to dive into everything Heroes. What the show addresses most in terms of morals is really what it means to be "special." The villain does what he does because he felt manipulated and unnoticed, so he embarked on his quest to acquire as many powers as possible from other people. What else i like about this show is that it has many other characters of other ethnicities. Not all of them are stereotypical American superheroes. The scientist is Indian, two main characters are Japanese, a few characters are African American, and another is Hispanic. It's a great show.

I LOVE THIS SHOW!!!!!!!!!! this is the show i've been hooked on since it came out. i made sure my mom bought the dvd's and everything! this is the BEST show in the world. i love how the character's personalities change realistically, how each character deals with his/her power(s) [I put in the (s) regarding Peter and Sylar] And i believe it is fine for anyone over the age of 6. Altough there IS a lot of violence [One character RIPS people apart] and a little bit of cussing, i still think this show deseves to be seen by EVERYONE

The perfect mixture of angst and power; love and the extraordinary; violence and...well, violence. A more mature show than what your kid may not be used to, but it's something that would certainly make for a few interesting family TV nights.
