Invincible (2021): parents' guide

Very gory and frequent: heads crushed or twisted off, eyes popped out, bodies skewered and torn apart with visible guts. Civilians are slaughtered, a man's powers accidentally kill his family including his young son, and a father nearly beats his teenage son to death.

Frequent profanity throughout, including f-words, s-words and "motherf---er," heavy use of God and Jesus as exclamations, and a middle-finger gesture. Plugged In counted four f-words in one season 1 episode and 11 in the season 3 premiere.

Make-out scenes and implied sex between 18-year-olds and young adults, underwear, implied nudity under sheets and implied masturbation. Brief nonsexual nudity includes a man's bare rear, plus penis-size jokes. In season 4 a young woman tells her boyfriend she had an abortion.

Adults and college students drink, sometimes heavily; the hero's mother downs most of a bottle of wine and later appears to lean on alcohol before seeking help. Some cigarette smoking and talk of cocaine and the drug trade.

Sustained, disturbing horror: zombies, a possessing creature, a skin-melting substance, decomposing corpses and jump scares. Suicidal thoughts are voiced and villains die by suicide, one by leaping onto a sharp sundial. Some episodes have flashing lights.
