The Umbrella Academy: parents' guide

Frequent graphic kills: people are shot, stabbed, thrown from windows and cut in half, eyes torn out and necks snapped, with blood spatter. A man is mind-controlled into shooting himself, two seasons show the end of the world, and season 4 adds gory body horror.

S-words in most episodes, about 11 per episode in the later seasons, plus ass, asshole, bastard and hell. Season 4 adds f-words, four in its premiere and two in the next episode, and bigoted villains in the 1960s-set season call a Black man 'boy.'

Kissing, flirting and romances, including feelings between two adopted siblings. In season 4 two characters have sex in a motel, with deadly supernatural results. Also a strip-club scene, a man in a jockstrap with his bare backside showing, and sexual jokes.

Klaus is addicted to pills and alcohol: he buys drugs in an alley, gets high and drinks heavily, then struggles to stay sober in later seasons. Characters smoke and vape, a woman sniffs something to get high, and drinks are spiked.

Ghosts that torment one brother, mushroom clouds, the moon shattered, sudden deaths of main characters, and flashbacks of children trained harshly and locked away by a father who, it emerges, arranged his own death. Season 4 adds gross body horror.
