Scavengers Reign: parents' guide

Wildlife attacks, crushing storms and parasites cause gruesome, bloody injuries and deaths. Mind-controlled people turn on others, a man tears a parasite out of his own body, a mauled man is killed to end his pain, and animal carcasses spill their guts.

Repeated f-words and s-words, plus 'damn,' 'hell' and 'Jesus' as an exclamation. Common Sense Media notes the cursing picks up in the second half of the season.

Two adults are shown naked in bed after implied sex, with quick glimpses of bare breasts and buttocks as they get up. Otherwise there is passionate kissing and talk about a strained marriage.

Two adults briefly drink champagne. More notably, a man repeatedly eats a black substance from a creature that makes him see his dead partner, and keeps using it to numb his grief, a clear echo of addiction.

Unsettling creature designs, eerie sounds and the constant threat of being controlled or eaten keep tension high. Characters die alone or slowly, and guilt over lost loved ones hangs over nearly everyone.
