Pluribus: parents' guide

Bloodied bodies, crashes and fires after a worldwide seizure kills hundreds of millions. A grenade injures a character, a man is badly impaled in the jungle, and a man missing part of his leg is handed the severed limb. Mostly aftermath rather than attacks.

Frequent and strong. Plugged In counted nearly 20 f-words in the premiere and 13 in the second episode, plus s-words, 'dick,' 'piss off,' and regular misuse of God's and Jesus' names.

The virus spreads through kissing, shown on screen. A woman walks naked to a shower, seen from behind; a hot tub scene shows buttocks and the sides of breasts. Two women begin sleeping together late in season 1.

The lead drinks heavily, often to cope, and her car's breathalyzer hints at a past problem; she gets drunk and vomits. She secretly doses someone with a truth drug and asks for heroin as a ploy.

Eerie and unsettling: crowds convulse in unison, the dead lie in the streets, wolves dig at a grave, and a warehouse of packaged human remains reveals the hive's food source. Grief and isolation run deep.
