Wonder Man: parents' guide

Superpowered blasts crack walls, blow out a window and destroy a film set. One episode builds to a hostage standoff and a police gunfight, an on-set shooting turns out to be fake blood, and an old movie shows lasers and gunplay.

One reviewer counted six s-words across the first three episodes, and another tallied more than 20 profanities in total, including "ass," "damn," "hell," "bloody hell" and "dicking around." No f-words were reported.

Romance is minor: a breakup and a brief kiss from an ex. An audition script and a few jokes are suggestive, and the older actor mentions past debts to prostitutes. No sex scenes or nudity.

Characters drink at bars and parties without getting drunk on screen. Anecdotes describe actors blind drunk or high on set, a former star slides into alcoholism, and a man sober for 13 years recalls paying off drug debts.

Little that's scary. The hero dreams he kills another actor, a hostage standoff brings brief tension, and a man disappears inside another man when his powers go wrong, with his fate left unclear.
