Why We Rated This on for Ages 13 and Up

The good stuff

  • Messages:

    The main characters sometimes have trouble believing what they’re seeing and often must carry out their missions without revealing the details of their jobs to people they encounter. They're somewhat unhappy about this assignment and eager to be transferred back to their regular duties, especially Myka.
  • Role models:

    The two agents often butt heads but work well together when it counts, making them effective partners.
 

What to watch out for

  • Violence:

    Action scenes include guns, hand-to-hand combat, and some really unusual weaponry, though the combat scenes aren't especially violent or gory.
  • Sex:

    Pete is something of a ladies’ man. There’s plenty of flirting, and characters are sometimes seen in bed, but there's not much in the way of actual sex or nudity.
  • Language:

    “Crap” is about as rough as it gets.
  • Consumerism:

    Not an issue.
  • Drinking, drugs, & smoking:

    Moderate social drinking at parties and other events. The characters also sometimes talk about drinking -- or how some of their unusual escapades make them feel like they “need” a drink.
 

What Parents Need to Know

About Warehouse 13

Parents need to know that this sci-fi series about two Secret Service agents assigned to a special unit that retrieves and safeguards mysterious artifacts frequently involves dangerous situations, combat, and weapon use -- but overall the action scenes tend to focus more on the artifacts' unusual and unexpected capabilities than on person-on-person violence. There’s also some flirting and sexual innuendo and occasional social drinking by adults.

Families Can Talk About

  • Families can talk about the supernatural. Do you think ghosts, witchcraft, and magic are real? Why do so many movies and TV shows feature ancient artifacts with unusual capabilities?
  • Families can also discuss government secrets. Why would the powers-that-be want to hide mysterious, powerful artifacts from the public? Can you think of any other movies or TV shows that suggest the government is hiding such revelations? Why are conspiracy theories so entertaining?

    Great show fun for young teens and adults

    As an avid scifi consumer I was looking for some shows to fill my time. I found that Warehouse 13 has a good blend of mystery, fantasy and comedy that make it enjoyable to watch. There is some depth to some of the characters and it's easy to pick up in the middle of the season. It can have some intense emotional scenes due to violence or drama but most early teens will fine. Older teens may find it uncool unless they are a bit geeky. Its a great way to stimulate the imagination about historical figures and to also introduce a lot of tid bits of history. While you don't want to use as a historical reference it can be a great way to introduce some of the fantastic characters in our history.

  3. I rate this title on for age 9 and give it 3.0

    Fluffy sci fi

    This is a cute series, its fluffy sci fi ...think a family friendly "X-files" its awfully full of stereotypes a strict girl cop, a flirty boy cop, a sassy genius teen etc Its not as great for budding sci-fi geeks as "The middleman" but for for budding sci-fi fans its some thing.
