Heads up on moderate sex and nudity. That is past what the TV-14 on the box suggests. Beyond that, some strong language and strong violence.
Our estimate: fine from about 16, higher than the TV-14 suggests, because of the sex and nudity.
How we rate: an AI reads what is known about each title and tags it 0 to 3; we check the tags against a hand-rated set and correct them by hand when readers tell us. Estimates, not a scene-by-scene review. Spot a mistake? Tell us.
