not yetwith an adult, or to talk about afteralonethe sweet spot

The official US rating is TV-14, and we never go below it. Alone from 14, and not before, even with an adult.

The sweet spot: around 14, once they have seen a Star Wars film and enjoy adventures where a lone hero protects someone smaller. Why a sweet spot?

Official US rating: TV-14. In France, zinema would say 11.

What it's about

After the fall of the Galactic Empire, lawlessness has spread throughout the galaxy. A lone gunfighter makes his way through the outer reaches, earning his keep as a bounty hunter.

Why 14

The official rating, firstRated TV-14 in the US (parents strongly cautioned, may be unsuitable for children under 14). zinema never goes below the country's rating: it explains it.
rule
Creatures that frightenA giant sand dragon, a horned beast that charges, and above all, in the second episode of season 2, an ice cave swarming with giant spiders that close in around the baby. It is the most frightening scene in the series.
Blaster fightsAlmost every episode has a shootout: soldiers fall under blaster fire, without blood, and a few bodies are seen on the ground. The fights are many, but they stay those of a Star Wars adventure.
A hero paid to captureThe hero is a bounty hunter: his job is to capture, sometimes to kill, and death threats are made face to face. He changes little by little, but he remains a hard man.
A child often in dangerThe little being the hero protects is hunted, kidnapped and separated from him, and you hear him cry. For a young viewer attached to the character, these moments can be hard to watch.

What the series brings

A lone man learns to care for a child who is not his own, and to keep his word whatever it costs. The series is about loyalty, chosen family and a code of honor.

Watching it together
