Charles (love your screen name!)— since you’ve seen several episodes, what do you think of it for kids? We homeschool, and I frequently use movies as a “jumping off point” for our lessons. Our boys have a nodding acquaintance with WWII but I think this would really spur their interest. (I used Charlie Chaplin’s “The Great Dictator” as a discussion point for both WWI & WWII, for example.)
They like movies like Avengers, Ant Man, etc., so are okay with action & some violence. (They’d probably be okay with a lot more violence, actually, but Mama isn’t! LOL!) Also I don’t want to expose them to overt sexuality at their age. Anyway, if you could mention what you thought of the episodes you saw, thinking specifically of kids, I’d love to hear your thoughts. Thanks!
So far (five episodes), no violence or blood beyond the average action movie fare. There are a few torture scenes, but they seem more tame than weekly crime drama content (The Blacklist, etc.). Despite the Nudity warning at the beginning of each episode, there hasn’t really been much skin on display. I’m sure the series will earn that warning label at some point, so be sure to preview each episode.
Really not appropriate for kids. Some brutal torture scenes, nudity, f-bombs, as well as the gassing of Jews. Repeat; not recommended for kids at all.
Finished all the episodes last night I have mixed feelings about kids watching it. While there is only one - not full frontal - nude scene that needs to be considered. There are several brutal execution scenes and beatings. The character development is fantastic and shows that even in the bad guys there are honorable people. Pretty nuanced. That said I would show it to my early teen kids with a discussion after every episode, my kids were very mature and country raised. There is way worse garbage out there.
