Parents guide

Dimly lit sex scene. The man's rear end can be seen.

Copious amounts of nudity throughout season 1. Sexual activity occurs less frequently, but it is still visible in a few instances.

2 men have sex. You only see the very end of it. Mostly implied but you see upper body.

Fetuses are placed in a machine to grow up. They are later shown as fully nude adults.

Full male nudity is shown, sometimes for an extended period. Female nudity isn't as graphic.

Several scenes throughout the series show full male genital nudity but no female genital nudity is ever shown. The main character, Dr. Manhattan walks around fully nude in several scenes and his big penis is shown.

A woman lifts her skirt up and inseminates herself. No genitalia is shown.

A dead woman had a bashed head and you can see all the blood insides of her head. Two men are tied and dragged by a car but no blood shown.

Lots of shooting with bloody detail

Several scenes depict brutal hand-to-hand combat. In one scene in particular a man takes out several robbers in very graphic ways - repeatedly stabbing one with glass and bashing the other's head until it breaks open.

Frequent uses of "fuck," "fucking," "shit," "damn," "hell," "asshole," "bullshit," GD and SOB, "motherfucker," etc. Blasphemies that could offend certain viewers.

Contains extreme violence and psychotic characters.

Some of the violence is racially charged which adds to its intensity level even more.

An entire field of cattle is graphically gunned down. This is upsetting for animal lovers.

Like the graphic novel it's based on, Watchmen is best aimed at mature viewers. It contains strong graphic violence, pervasive strong language, some strong sexual content, and graphic nudity.
