  A lot of times, characters will die in harsh and cruel ways. The show gets increasingly more violent.

  In one scene, someone steps on a landmine resulting in a bloody aftermath. Body parts are seen scattered across the ground. (Very graphic)

  Later seasons contain much more graphic violence than the first, with medium to large amounts of blood and gore.

  Contains blood, gore, and violence.

  Graphic violence, with violent activity in nearly every episode of the show. Show becomes increasingly more violent in later seasons.

  Throughout the series, the most graphic scenes include throat-slitting, heavy beatings, people having their skin graphically melt/burn away due to radiation, a man's eyes being gouged, several instances of decapitation and dismemberment, a character graphically slitting their wrists and another character cutting their arm open on the corner of a table.

  The violence can be quite ruthless and cold-blooded, including scenes of torture, already wounded people being killed on the ground, and defenseless people being killed.

  There are multiple torture scenes over the course of the series, including a man being repeatedly whipped before having a nail driven through his palm and being shocked with an electric cord, a man having nails hammered through his hands before being hoisted into the air, and several people being cut and stabbed many times with knives and scalpels.

  In one season 5 episode a man is stabbed in the stomach and then has his neck pretty brutally bitten out.

• Profanity Mild

  Infrequent use of b**tard, p**s, p**sed, ass, badass, dumbass, smartass, and b**ch. Frequent use of hell, d**n, and dammit.

• Drugs Mild

  Three major characters go through severe drug addictions in the series. One in season 2, another in season 4, and the last in season 5. Each one is more and more unnerving to watch, one of which resulting in a suicide.

  There's a nut they found called jobi nuts that they eat and it makes them hallucinate

  Alcohol is consumed on several occasions throughout the show, including a few characters who go through addiction.

• Frightening Scenes Moderate

  Some of the deaths may be extremely emotional and unhappy deaths. Main characters die by suicide, execution, murder, etc.

  The storyline of Jasper in seasons 3-4 is an extremely blunt portrayal of depression, and can be very frustrating to watch, specially to some viewers who can relate with hopelessness, since the show never addresses the issue of mental health most of its young characters clearly shows symptoms of.

  Constant scenes of slitting wrists, hangings, lighting self on fire, brutal executions, overdoses, etc.

  There were references and even portrayals of cannibalism in season 5. Also known as the Dark Year. Might be disturbing to some (or a lot) of viewers.

  In a Season 5 episode, people are forced at gunpoint to eat meat made from other humans. Some viewers may find this extremely disturbing.

  There will be one episode, S2:E7, with a young woman that's being tortured with radiation outside Mountweather. You can later see the body on a table inside of Mountweather.

  In season 1, a 13 year old girl, part of the original 100, commits suicide jumping off of a cliff, after killing the son of the man who orderer her parents' death (floating). The young girl struggled with severe nightmares and misunderstood what the older, default leaders told her and what she saw them do. She also was being chased with torches by an older teen and his cronies for not confessing until he was almost hanged to death by the mob. Her whole plotline can be very disturbing for some viewers, specially since it deals with children's mental health, total neglect of a child's mental health and the show never addresses in depth issues like CPTSD (which several characters shows symptoms of), but uses it as a shock element for the plot.

  A major theme of the show is abandonment and betrayal. Many characters will be abandoned or betrayed by friends, family, and allies. This goes as far as mothers torturing their daughters, and others murdering their lover in cold blood.

  Teenagers are on a crash-landing space shuttle.

  A character is being treated for a gunshot wound on an operating table in a hospital scene.
