Lanterns: parents' guide

Bodies lie under sheets after a mass shooting, one briefly showing bullet wounds. Characters fire guns, brawl in a bar and crash cars. Later episodes add orbital strikes on a town, a fatal shooting, and an exhumed body.

Very frequent strong language: Plugged In counted over 35 f-words and 15 s-words in the pilot alone, with some s-words said by children, plus damn, hell, ass, pissed, and misuse of God's and Jesus' names.

Two people who just met have sex in a vehicle, clothed, with thrusting and moaning; one is married, and the affair becomes a plotline. Plugged In reports fully nude male corpses, shown head to toe, in later episodes.

The lead drinks regularly and is shown hungover, with repeated references to his habit. Bar scenes show heavy drinking before a dangerous task, and a character smokes a cigarette lit with a power ring.

A graphic look at a dead body, a father shooting an apple off his young son's head, a man trapped in a burning car, hallucinations, and a hallucinating man unknowingly aiming his own gun at himself.
