Beyond

Characters are in mortal danger from shadowy villains who use fists and guns to subdue anyone who crosses them. A character is shot point-blank in the head (he doesn't die); physical scuffles can get intense, with combatants hitting each other with objects such as a motorcycle helmet.

Flirting and very mild talk about dating and how to attract a woman's attention (compliments are "key," says a character). Pictures of a woman in lingerie are found in a character's desk.

Cursing, generally exclamatory: "puberty is a bitch," "what the hell." Occasionally, characters insult each other: "piss off," "ass-face."

Some drinking, mostly social, by adults and underage teens. A teen says, "I'm drunk," and giggles. A college student jokes that his parents' money is paying for "beer and weed." Men meet in a bar for beers.

Parents need to know that Beyond is a drama about a teen who awakens from a coma with supernatural powers. He's being chased by shadowy villains who use violence, including guns, to accomplish their ends. A main character is shot point-blank in the head (he survives), and fistfights get intense. Cursing includes "hell," "bitch," "ass," and insults such as "ass-face." Adults and teens drink beer, and a teen says, "I'm drunk," and giggles. A woman is shown in lingerie in photographs. Imagery of otherworldly lights and fires may scare very young viewers, but overall, the show isn't too scary or gritty for teens, who will be intrigued by its supernatural aspects and young hero.
