The Saboteurs (2015) Parents Guide: Is the series OK for kids?

Sexual content is minimal. There are implied romantic relationships and brief moments of intimacy, such as kissing, but no nudity or explicit sexual acts are depicted. Sex is occasionally implied off-screen or between scenes without detail.

Violence is moderate and contextualized by war. Characters engage in combat, commando raids, and firefights, resulting in injuries and deaths, often shown with small amounts of blood. While intense at times, the focus is on the mission's peril rather than graphic gore. Shootings and explosions occur. Some characters die from gunshot wounds; one character is seen shot in the head off-screen. A Nazi officer commits suicide with a pistol.

Mild profanity is present, typically in moments of stress, frustration, or combat. Words like "damn," "hell," and their Norwegian equivalents are heard occasionally. More severe language is absent.

Alcohol consumption is frequently shown, consistent with the 1940s setting; characters are seen drinking socially at bars, during celebrations, or to cope with stress, but heavy intoxication or problematic use is not a central theme. Smoking is very common, with many characters, including those in military and civilian roles, seen lighting up cigarettes or cigars. Depiction is contextual, not glorifying. No illicit drug use is shown.

War, resistance, duty, sacrifice, and the moral complexities of conflict are central themes. Characters grapple with the immense pressure and danger of their mission, the loss of comrades, and the ethical dilemmas of sabotage. The threat of Nazi Germany developing atomic weapons provides a constant, intense undercurrent of global peril. Issues of collaboration and patriotism are also explored.
