DEEPLY MACABRE GENRE AND GRAPHICS

This is superb entertainment for 16+ to adults. However, NO CHILD, I mean, ABSOLUTELY NO CHILDREN UNDER AGE 14, especially, should be watching this, and here's why. It's a deeply DISTURBING MACABRE GENRE with themes that any child confused by its plot, and story development will google out of curiosity. The first episode visually depicts and introduces body dismemberment, decapitation, guillotine, sadism, murder, bloodthirsty piranhas, and testicles. There's a lot more to this, obviously. Some of you might say, "Sure! My kids are into horror disturbing flicks, and they'll be introduced to it anyways, so it's fine!" As someone who studied child psychology, I know there are many, many, many neuro imaging and neurobiological research and literature on mental health outcomes of children who are exposed to horror, disturbing and inappropriate themes before they can fully grasp the reality of strong adult content. HARD NO FOR KIDS UNDER 14. RECOMMENDED 16+

Very Good Highly Recommend For Age 13+ Or For Mature 12 Year Olds That Can Handle A Lot Of Violence

This was a great series I really enjoyed watching it but this is not for kids at all. Gory, violence, some kissing, and some comments kids won't understand, there is some language too such as the B*** Shi* D*** Godda** Hell and some other rude words that the people call the nevermore students. Many of the students' kiss make out etc, nothing too inappropriate but it definitely is not good for kids 11 and under to see this I think mature 12 yr olds can see this series but not sensitive ones. it depends on your kid and what they can handle but I think 12 is the youngest you can go for this series. on the other hand the movie was very well done but there were jump scares and some scary parts such as the monster killing the people they show the dead bodies ripped open and the monster was kind of creepy for young kids.

Whole family loved it. 11 year old was a little scared after seeing the monster but I told her how hard someone worked in the cgi department to make the monster look scary but not too scary and all was well. The ending was so sweet; we are looking forward to season 2.

An awesome show with a bit of violence

There's basically no gore. The death scenes from monsters are shot so you can't see someone being killed. There is screaming and squishy sounds and splatters of blood, though. One person is stabbed with a sword and dies, but it's not graphic. One person is stabbed with a knife in the stomach, but survives. Nothing sexier than a kiss in here. No nudity. Not much bad language. No drinking at all. I don't think anyone smokes either. There is a scary monster that you see a few times and a couple of the teenagers do get killed. If you're not sure, search for Wednesday death scenes on YouTube and you'll see representative examples. The show itself is *excellent* and I would show it to even my 7 year old if not for the death scenes. Wednesday is strong and smart, but also troubled and alone. The acting is great, the story is good, and I stayed up late several nights watching "just one more episode".

just fine...

i watched this with the family and i think its okay. nothing AMAZING, but the younger your kids are, the more entertaining the show is. my 17-year-old thought is was good, my 11-year-old LOVED it whereas my 7-year-old was too young to understand it. the characters are likeable and good role models. i would recommend, but it's not top tier.

Decent story appropriate for school aged children.

Wednesday does have some scary/creepy moments. If your child is fairly okay with creepy creatures, then this should be okay for your child. There is mild language and obviously dark humor.

Kept both my kids engaged

It kept both my 11 yo and 14 yo boys entertained. It is always very challenging to find something we can all watch together and that we all stay engaged with.
