Sex & Nudity
-
- Nothing graphic in this series.
- The show would probably be PG for mild battle violence and brief nudity, except for the last episode (Richard III) which would probably be PG-13 for strong bloody violence.
- A woman flashes her buttocks for a split second in anger (Henry IV, Part 1).
- Lady Percy is seen naked from the back and part of her breast is visible for a second (Henry IV, Part 1)
- Richard III seduces Anne, and it is implied they have sex (Richard III).
- Anne is briefly seen naked in bed after having sex with her husband, but no actual nudity is seen (Richard III).
- A man tries to forcibly grope and force himself on a prostitute, but she objects loudly, and he does not succeed (Henry IV, Part 2).
- Falstaff and Doll Tearsheet are shown making out in bed while people secretly watch them. It is implied, however, that Falstaff is impotent, so any desire for sex is thwarted (Henry IV, Part 2).
- Falstaff is seen in bed with a prostitute. We see part of the woman's buttocks, and Falstaff slaps them when he gets out of bed (Henry IV, Part 1).
Violence & Gore
-
- The battle scene at the end of Henry IV, Part 1 is intense and brief glimpses of bloody violence is seen.
- A man is lynched for betrayal. This is sad and disturbing, but not overly graphic (Henry V).
- There are two battles in Henry V. None of these are overly graphic, but it is intense and some blood is seen throughout on dead bodies scattered throughout the battlefield.
- Richard III (the final episode of the second season) is the most violent of the plays and the episodes.
- The second season of this television show (the three parts of Henry VI and Richard III) is a bit more violent than the first season.
- The battle scenes in Henry VI Parts 1, 2, and 3 are violent and intense and sometimes show bloody violence, but this is not overly graphic.material.
- Richard sends murderers to kill Clarence. They stab him multiple times, and then they drown him to death. Not overly graphic, but it is disturbing and we hear him being killed and screaming for his life (Richard III).
- Richard has many people executed throughout Richard III (the final episode). Not overly graphic, but we also see the bloody remains on the chopping block after their deaths.
- Richard orders a man executed. His head is brought into the court, and a man throws the bloody head at Richard, and he catches it and smiles (Richard III).
- The two young princes are smothered to death by a murderer in the tower. Not graphic but disturbing and sad (Richard III).
- The final battle in Richard III is the most bloody scene in the whole television show. Much blood and violence is seen, including severed limbs and bloody pouring out of people's mouths.
- At the beginning of the show in the first episode (Richard II) two traitors are executed. Their heads are shown being cut off and their heads fall into the ocean. Mildly violent, but only lasts a split second.
Profanity
-
- None whatsoever.
Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking
-
- Falstaff and his fellow revelers drink excessively throughout Henry IV, Parts 1 and 2. None of this is morally condoned by the story, and it is meant to demonstrate these their character.
Frightening & Intense Scenes
-
- Suggested MPAA rating: PG for mild battle violence and brief nudity, except the last episode (Richard III) which would probably be PG-13
- The battle scenes throughout in both seasons are intense (see Violence and Gore). Nothing too gruesome, however.
Spoilers
