Lockwood & Co.: parents' guide

Teens fight ghosts with swords and chains, and Lucy senses how ghosts died, such as a woman being strangled. Fellow trainees are killed on a job, a man is stabbed to death, an undercover officer is murdered and Lockwood is wounded.

S-words are frequent (three in the first episode alone) and the f-word turns up occasionally, along with 'damn,' 'ass,' 'bloody hell' and God's name misused.

No sexual content. Lucy and Lockwood have clear chemistry, and Lockwood jokes about once walking in on George doing yoga naked; George is then seen in only a long T-shirt, bare legs showing.

In the first episode Lucy drinks underage until a friend urges her to stop. Her late father drank himself to death, and the boss of her first agency is an alcoholic. No drug use.

Tense ghost hunts in dark, haunted houses, with shrieking spirits, a ghostly touch that causes agonizing pain or death, and a friend left 'ghost-locked' in a coma-like state. Parents say it is too scary for younger kids.
