Star Trek: Strange New Worlds: parents' guide

Phaser fights, brawls, ship battles and explosions are frequent but mostly bloodless. Gorn episodes are the exception: acid burns, claw wounds, eggs blistering a woman's back, a half-digested corpse and a creature's neck bursting. A child's charred body appears once.

Mostly 'hell' and 'damn,' with occasional 'crap' and 'bloody' and a rare clipped s-word. A brief video in the premiere shows the f-word on a protest sign.

Kissing, making out and couples seen in bed. Sex is implied off screen several times, such as a woman's bare back after a night with the captain and Spock's romantic evening being interrupted. No nudity beyond that.

Adults drink brandy, liquor and Klingon bloodwine; one comic scene has a Klingon vomiting and Spock nursing a hangover the next day. No drug use.

A few episodes are full-on horror, with Gorn hatchlings bursting from victims and stalking the crew in the dark; one infected main character throws himself to his death to stop them hatching. One episode centers on a child kept in suffering to power a city.
