Ragnarok (2020) Parents Guide: Is the series OK for kids?

Sexual themes are more pronounced in Season 2. There are scenes of suggestive dancing and kissing. Laurits's exploration of their sexuality is central, including a scene of self-pleasure with implied nudity (rear male nudity shown as 'comedy' according to IMDB guide, but context in show implies a more mature theme). Characters discuss sexual matters. There is also a scene involving a character eating a rat-like creature and then kissing another character, which is disturbing and sexually charged.

Violence in Season 2 includes intense fights between Magne and the Jutuls, often with supernatural powers involved, leading to significant destruction. Characters are severely beaten, and there are implied and explicit deaths. A character is shown having their neck broken. Graphic imagery includes characters consuming raw animal organs and brief depictions of blood and injuries. A character is electrocuted.

Profanity is moderate, including uses of 'f**k,' 'sh*t,' 'bitch,' and 'asshole.' These words are used in moments of anger or frustration, sometimes directed at other characters. The language is less frequent than in some TV-MA series but present throughout.

Alcohol is frequently consumed by both adults and teenagers at parties and social gatherings. There are a few instances of teenagers smoking marijuana, including one scene where it is explicitly passed around by Magne's friends. While not glorified, substance use is depicted as a normal part of teen social life and adult relaxation.

Themes of identity, betrayal, environmental degradation, and the burden of destiny are central. Laurits's struggle with their identity and parentage, and Magne's internal conflict and self-doubt, are heavily explored. The manipulative tactics of the Jutuls and the consequences of moral compromises are prominent. The psychological impact of their powers and responsibilities on the characters is a recurring theme.
