Hell's Paradise parents guide

The thing to know: moderate sex and nudity, brutal violence, and graphic gore, more than a TV-14 usually carries. Beyond that, some strong language and a few tense moments.

Our estimate: fine from about 16, higher than the TV-14 suggests, because of the gore and violence.
