Arcane: parents' guide

Brutal, bloody fights with fists, blades, guns, a chainsaw and explosives. A decapitation is implied, a needle goes into a man's eye, a child is shot dead, and bodies pile up in battles. Two girls find their parents' corpses.

Strong words are scattered rather than constant: UK classifiers note a few f-words in about six of 18 episodes, plus s-words, bitch, piss, damn and middle-finger gestures. Many episodes have only mild language.

Both seasons include sex: a brief scene in season 1 with nudity mostly from behind and a brief side view of a woman's breast, and a season 2 couple who undress, with oral sex hinted. Sex workers appear outside a brothel, and adultery is referenced.

Characters drink, smoke and get drunk. A glowing drug called Shimmer is smoked in a club and injected, leaves many undercity residents addicted, and turns some users into monsters.

Many dark, disturbing scenes: body-horror transformations, a monstrous rat that kills a cat, a creature hunting people, a character's hallucinations and breakdowns, jump scares, and deep grief over parents and children who die.
