DareDevil's an 18? Seems high for a Marvel series. Having seen it I'd say its appropriate. These aren't kiddie shows.

DareDevil's an 18? Seems high for a Marvel series. Normally, yeah, but this is a Marvel series....with The Punisher. Episode 9, "Seven Minutes in Heaven", is a bloodbath with Frank Castle tearing up a prison - stabbings, garrotings and slashings galore so the BBFC gave it an 18 for "strong bloody violence". It's hard to disagree, it's a fantastic episode but a clear 18. Looking at the other listings on the BBFC, it's only this ep they gave an 18 rating. But since the alternative is cutting the show...let it be 18 rated.

I wonder if they'll ever do the storyline where Danny Rand poses as Daredevil so Matt can be seen NOT to be him? The current beardiness might ruin that!

(They are 16 and 13) I always think these ratings are counter productive anyway especially in this day of online shopping and streaming. The violence may be strong in DD but I think kids now who play First Person Shooters and idolise The Walking Dead and Game Of Thrones have a higher tolerance than the film classifiers. I'd have gone nuts for Daredevil when I was 13. Anyone in the UK who grew up as a teen in the VHS era trawling video shops will remember you'd look out for that lovely 18 logo as a guarantee of some gore, nudity, swearing...whatever your thing was. No-one was looking at it as a warning you were too young for it- it was a promise there'd be something good within the box. Especially after the Video Nasties started very slowly coming back into circulation (usually cut to shreds) it was always exciting finding them on shelves. It says a lot that films that the prudes deemed completely unacceptable in the early 80s not only come out now, but often uncut with a mere 15 rating. Changing sensibilities indeed. You're certainly not a bad parent for that I was watching the Aliens, Predators, Candyman and Elm Streets as a kid with my dad and loving them. Arguably they work better when you're young enough to just see the scares and not the filmaking.

If DareDevil Season 2 came out when I was 15 I would not watch it because it is an 18. 18 means it is only suitable for 18 year olds and over. Elkawho can do what she wants as a parent. I'm not criticising her (I can't, I'm not a parent), just the idea that age ratings are pointless because kids wrongly play Call of Duty.

Elka's a she not a he . It's very difficult being a parent and age ratings. My 7 year old has watched Jurassic Park but I won't let him watch any of the sequels, while his friends have seen then all. It isn't just about age, it's about each individual's ability to deal with what they see some PG/U are not really appropriate for him either because of the way he sees the world. My 14 year old wants to watch 15 rated films - she's not allowed to, but quite a lot of stuff she watches on normal tv isn't really appropriate for her. As I said, it's difficult ... Cheers Tony

I'm not criticising her (I can't, I'm not a parent), just the idea that age ratings are pointless because kids wrongly play Call of Duty. It's also worth factoring in the emotional maturity (for younger children as determined by the parent) and how well someone can deal with the content. Just as you can have 13 year-olds who may not be too badly affected by something that's R16, there are things adults may choose not to watch because because they know they won't be able to handle the content. As long as the person is aware of why the content isn't usually suitable for their age bracket and that they should parrot the behaviour they see, I see no reason to outright ban it unless the parent has a reasonable reason for it. I watched Torchwood a couple of years before turning 16, but I knew that shooting things and swearing wasn't appropriate behaviour. Still fastforwarded through the bits that made me squeamish. If the kid is determined to watch it, they should at least understand why the parent didn't want them watching it. My sister wanted to watch Glee when she was ten or eleven, no matter how hard my mum tried to stop her. At least (I hope) she picked up that it wasn't just High School Musical: The TV Show and that it dealt with heavy themes beyond the usual Disney Channel fluff where the worst a bad boy can do is get a temporary tattoo. The parent should be aware of what their kids are watching and playing, and not just put on Grave of the Fireflies or South Park to keep the kids quiet because "it's animated, so it must be for kids!"

The parent should be aware of what their kids are watching and playing, and not just put on Grave of the Fireflies or South Park to keep the kids quiet because "it's animated, so it must be for kids!" Following on from what I said previously and adding to what omega said, there are quite a lot of DW that we don't let our 7 year old watch until we think he is ready. He has only just watched Blink and while he was ok with it, he was terrified at the Doctor Who Experience this year (because of the Angels). He has also watched Family of Blood, Midnight and Silence of the Library this year for the first time, but is still not allowed to watch The Empty Child, The Waters of Mars, Hide and quite a lot of Capaldi's episodes. We regularly have conversations with him about why he is not allowed to watch certain episodes and he doesn't like being told no. Recently he "snook" a look at The Empty Child on his sister's phone (youtube app) and was pretty scared by it - since then he has told us that he'll never do that again and understands why we he isn't allowed to watch them. It's the same with the Marvel stuff, he has only watched the first Iron Man, the first Captain America but has watched most of the X-Men. It all depends on the subject matter, how it is portrayed and how the individual relates to it. Cheers Tony

They were 8 and 6 at the time. I judge depending upon each individual case. They have seen the Daredevil seasons, but I won't let them watch Jessica Jones, because to me it's a much more personal and disturbing story. (David Tennant is wonderfully terrifying in that.) The 16 year old saw Deadpool in the theater with his friend and his friend's parent, but I won't let the younger one see it for a while. And I told them both that they can't watch Game Of Thrones till they're 30 . My younger son has always been much more affected by things, and more prone to nightmares and anxiety, while my older one has never been one to carry these things with him. Surprisingly, my kids are big gamers, but they don't like first person shooter games. I've always been thankful for that.

Yeah. DD is definitely M rated here in Australia.. I saw Porky's when I was 10.. Funnily enough my mum turned off the video (mid 80's) during the nude male graveyard scene LOL.. I also saw a couple R rated movies with s*x scenes when i was 11/12.. I turned out ok.. There's more violence on the news and on bookface/youtube nowadays..

Not only, as we knew, are ABC doing a New Warriors show...but Squirrel Girl will star in it! I must admit, I thought she'd get a movie before a show but hey. She's become very popular over the past few years. I think in 2015 two of Marvel's biggest sellers were her book and Spider-Gwen. Crazy, but wonderful, times.

I guess this New Warriors is a comedy show then otherwise who is going to take it seriously?
