SEAL Team parents guide
Heads up on brutal violence. That is past what the TV-14 on the box suggests. Beyond that, some innuendo or implied sex and some strong language.
Our estimate: fine from about 16, higher than the TV-14 suggests, because of the violence.
- Scare
- Mildly scary
- A few tense or eerie moments.
- Jump scares
- A couple
- One or two sudden jolts.
- Gore
- Light gore
- Some blood or injury, briefly.
- Violence
- Brutal violence
- Our top level for violence.
- Sex and nudity
- Mild
- Mild means innuendo, or sex implied off screen, with no nudity.
- Language
- Moderate
- Some strong profanity, a few f-words.
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.
