Content at a glance
More filled segments mean stronger content.
Sex & Nudity
Implied sex, underwear, revealing nightclub outfits and discussions of affairs appear.
Violence & Gore
Murders recur throughout the series. Bodies, blood, shootings, stabbings and poisonings appear without graphic gore.
Profanity
Swearing and crude sexual language include bitch and bastard.
Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking
Adults drink socially or alone. Pills, cigarettes and drug-related crimes feature.
Frightening Scenes
Abduction, captivity, rape and incest references, and grief for murdered relatives can be upsetting.
Positives & learning
More filled segments mean stronger positive content or learning value.
Positive messages
Manipulation and lying are frequently rewarded.
Role models
Jane pursues revenge and breaks rules; competent agent Lisbon is often overshadowed.
Representation
Korean American agent Cho avoids stereotypes, but women of colour are sidelined and some guest characters are clichéd.
Learning
Families could discuss testing psychic claims against evidence; this is a conversation prompt, not a psychology lesson.
