Percy Jackson and the Olympians: parents' guide

Frequent sword fights and magical battles. Monsters dissolve into dust or smoke when killed and Medusa is beheaded; in season 2 a camp leader is killed, a ship's crew is sacrificed to a sea monster and Percy is stabbed. No gore.

No profanity. Expect insults like loser, some hostile bickering among tweens, and a few uses of God's name as an exclamation.

Light flirting between tweens and teens, oblique talk about how gods fathered demigod kids, a nude male statue in a museum, a suggestive joke from a god, and Percy waking up in his underwear.

Percy's stepfather Gabe is shown drunk on screen, and his drinking is hinted to feed his meanness toward Percy and his mother. No other drinking or drug use.

A Fury, a Minotaur, Medusa, a Cyclops and other monsters attack, and a sense of dread runs through each season. Percy watches his mother seemingly die in the first episode and has ominous nightmares.
