Parents need to know that this movie has intense and graphic violence with many characters killed, including the Punisher's parents, wife, and child. Characters are tortured and beaten. A character attempts suicide. Characters drink (and Castle abuses alcohol).

The images and violence at times can and will impact viewers certain viewers not so much and the sex is very graphic and is in appropriate for 14 and under so with this information and the boundaries of the official age rating rules I will have to set this at an average 16 neither 15 or 18 but inbetween.

This is an adult show with graphic violence throughout every episode. The violence is over the top, showing faces beaten so repeatedly that their face structure actually changes…

There is 12 "f" words (2 used sexually as is the term "do it"), 8 "s" words, 1 slang term using male genitals ("pr*ck"), 3 hells, 2 asses, 2 S.O.B.s (and another incomplete one), 1 damn and 2 uses each of "G-damn," "God," "Jesus" and "Oh my God."

Turns out that hasn't happened. Watching now, shows like Daredevil and Punisher have not had even their most brutally violent scenes edited in any way.

According to Conway, Frank Castle represents a “failure of the justice system” and “the reality some people can't depend on institutions like the police or the military to act in a just and capable way.” To Conway, this has a lot to do with why these same institutions embracing the Punisher's logo is so problematic.

Controversy. The Punisher features extremely gruesome scenes of torture and gore; the ESRB stated that an initial cut of the game would meet its "Adults Only" rating (which severely hampers commercial availability because neither Microsoft, nor Sony allow Adults Only titles on their systems).

Dixon responded, “They don't like him for the same reason that DC doesn't like Guy Gardner and fans like the Punisher for the same reason they like Guy Gardner. Most comic book characters are either brainiacs, mutants, scientists, you know whatever. There's very few superheroes that have blue collar origins.

Did Netflix pull the Punisher? ›

The Punisher was removed from Netflix on March 1, 2022, along with the other Marvel Netflix series, due to Netflix's license for the series ending and Disney regaining the rights.

After his trial, The Punisher is not taken to prison, but instead a remote mansion owned by a millionaire known as Kesselring, who had bribed the guards to take Castle to him.

At no point does he take pleasure in inflicting pain, he does so with dreadful efficiency and for a purpose other than his own gratification. Both Russo and Rawlins are sad*sts, Russo's treatment of his mother certainly qualifies as does Rawlins' repeated enjoyment of inflicting pain through torture.

11-13 year olds may be better equipped to navigate the scary movie scene on some level but each child is different. If your child watches something that they say is not scary to them but then starts coming to you at night wanting to sleep closer to you or is having nightmares let their behavior speak for them.

There is an extremely violent prison fight scene, although you'll know it's coming because the episode it's in is rated 18. To summarise, I think It's a great series with some minor flaws (also, I only gave it a 15 because it seemed liked a good in between point, it's really up to how mature you think your child is).

I personally wouldn't recommend watching Stranger Things until you're at least 13. Also, the reason this is so long is because I tried to cover all the bases, just in case. “Adult” Scenes/Kissing: There are some “adult” scenes in the first two episodes of season 1 which are pretty skippable.

I'd recommend doing a deeper dive to decide if it's ok for your kids, but I'd advise to watch it with them and even then don't shown it to anyone under the age of 14-16. This title has: Too much violence. Too much sex.
