Parents Guide

• Sex Mild

  A few sexual jokes and innuendos throughout the series, most you don't even notice.

  In one scene, Cisco is given a "breakup cube," which is not one and actually contains sexual content from his girlfriend. Joe then tells him to take it to his house. Short scene.

  The flash (a guy) is shirtless for a moment in the first episode.

  In episode 8 of season 1 you see a woman(Felicity) in her bra.

  In episode 12 of season 1 a woman(Caitlin) gets is undressing in front of Barry and you will see her in her bra.

  People kiss in almost every episode.

  The flash and Linda are seen kissing in her bra.

• Violence Mild

  Throughout the series people have been shot or stabbed with small blood sprays.

  A man's heart explodes after being stabbed by the Reverse-Flash. We see blood pooling from the wound.

  At the end of season one, a man is shot. Blood spreads across his stomach and his white shirt. Not that bad.

  In season 2 the flash is beaten until he bleeds and then has is back broken by an evil speedster.

  Barry is a forensics scientist for the Central City Police Department, so he works in CSI, and the crime scenes are mostly murders. However, the murders are usually committed by metahumans, so nothing gory is seen.

  Season 6 is way darker than the previous seasons - Bloodwork creates a black zombie like army of people.

  At the end of season 6 people are killed and blood is shown. Barry gets stabbed by many shards of glass and a man is killed by a shard through his chest; blood is seen.

  Cicada, the bad guy in season five kills a lot of meta humans in somewhat gory ways

  During the fight between Team Flash and Cicada, we see Nora getting hit by his dagger causing a brief and small blood spray. Her back is also broken

  A man is killed with cards. Not bloody but disturbing

• Profanity Mild

  This show has very mild language like:d**n, hell

  Some uses of ass, b**ch, d**k, d**n, hell.

  Non of them.

• Drugs Mild

  An episode involves a meta human who cries drugs. The villains whole plan is to get the city hooked on this drug and make profit.

  Early in season 4 to celebrate something Joe West hands out Cigars to Barry, Iris, and Catlin and the show promotes it and they start fooling around smoking.

  In season 1 Caitlin gets drunk (ep12)

  In one episode, Berry gets drunk. It's more for fun as he just brags about being the Flash and is really emotional. Really only last for 5 minutes or less.

  Occasional drinking throughout.

• Frightening Scenes Mild

  A lot of scene's containing Zoom can be quite uptight and intense.

  The final episode of season 3 is very intense

  The last episodes of season 3 are very dark and depressing

  The focus of season 3 is about the Flash trying to save Iris West from dying after being sent into the future. At the end of the season, we see Iris die by being stabbed in the back by Savitar (no blood is shown). We come to find out in the next episode that it was actually H.R. who was killed. It is a very emotional scene that may upset younger viewers.

  Eddie sacrifices himself in order to stop Reverse-Flash. This scene can be very emotional to some viewers.

  Barry goes back in time in an attempt to save his mother. This scene is very emotional and seeing Barry's mom death is one of the saddest parts of the show.

  End of the episode Zoom kills Henry Allen. This scene is not easy to watch and may be very upsetting to many viewers.

  Many scenes containing DeVoe switching bodies can be disturbing to watch.

  In some episodes, the overall theme is very dark and can be quite emotional.

  Season 6 has some dark episodes exploring the theme of death towards the start of the season. Can be unsettling for some.
