Graphic violence and content that may disturb

The series contains few but extended sequences of superhero action violence that are at times graphic and bloody. Guns, bombs, and other weapons are used, and bones are broken during heavy hand-to-hand combat.

Some of the strongest moments of violence in episodes 1 & 2 include:

• A character walks through a building throwing many knives at civilians. It is implied that some are killed due to their screaming and then silence. The music and sound effects make these scenes more intense.
• During a fight scene, a character’s elbow cracks and blood seeps through his clothes. A character’s head is smashed against the table and blood sprays.
• A character is shot in the chest, with the camera lingering on his bloodied body.
• A character is hit by a subway train.

Offensive language

The series contains frequent use of offensive language such as “f**k”, "sh*t” and “a**hole.”
