Sweet Tooth: parents' guide

Frequent but not gory: people are shot, stabbed, burned with a flamethrower and thrown from a roof, and characters die on screen. Hybrid children wear shock collars, are kept in a kennel, and one is killed to make a cure.

Several s-words in some episodes, plus 'hell,' 'dammit,' 'a--hole,' 'numbnuts,' misuse of God's name and slurs aimed at hybrids. Profanity increases in later seasons. One guide also lists an f-word, which other detailed reviews don't report.

A couple kisses a few times, and the boy is seen from the shoulders up while bathing. No sexual situations.

Adults drink wine and at a bar, a community hoards liquor, and men smoke a pipe or cigar. The boy has a hallucinatory dream after breathing in flower pollen. No drunkenness or real drug use is noted.

Children are hunted, threatened with dissection and pulled from their parents, and early scenes show mass deaths from the virus and sobbing families. The boy loses his father figure in episode 1, and later seasons kill off other parent figures, bringing more grief.
