Loki: parents' guide

12+our pick

Best for ages 12 and up. Rated TV-14.

A clever, talky Marvel time-travel series that suits tweens and teens who know the movies. Violence is steady but mostly bloodless sci-fi: agents vaporized, people "pruned" out of existence, stabbings and fights with batons and swords. A handful of s-words, mild cursing and frequent "oh my God" push the language a bit past the Marvel films, and season 2 is slightly rougher. Romance is limited to a kiss, and one brief nude moment shows nothing explicit. Heavy ideas about free will and identity, plus Loki watching footage of his mother's death, make 12 a good starting point.

What's in it

Violence

Moderate

Comic-book combat in every episode: agents are vaporized, a prisoner is disintegrated, people are stabbed or burned, and an alligator bites off a hand with a little blood. Characters are repeatedly "pruned" from existence, and season 2 recounts hunters pruning an 8-year-old boy.

Language

Moderate

Mostly damn, hell and ass, with God's name used as an exclamation in most episodes. The s-word turns up a few times per season, three times in one season 2 episode. No f-words were noted.

Sex and nudity

Mild

Two leads share romantic tension and eventually kiss. A man is briefly nude after his clothes are zapped away, with only his chest shown, and there are light jokes about dating rumors.

Drinking, drugs and smoking

Mild

Adults have cocktails, champagne, bourbon, whiskey and beer in several scenes. Nobody is shown drunk, and there are no drugs or smoking.

Scary or intense scenes

Moderate

A storm-like monster that devours whatever it touches, painful-looking time slips that stretch bodies, a decomposing corpse and large-scale destruction. Loki watches footage of his mother's death and his own, which lands as real grief.

Sensitive topics

  • Death of a parent

Worth talking about

Loki keeps asking whether people can change or are stuck playing the role they were assigned. Does who you were in the past decide who you can become?
