The girls can't see (and you can't either) but it is suggested he has been decapitated. At one point, in the almost pitch black, the sillhouette of a teenage boy's body lies on the floor next to an axe. Someone is stabbed (not fatally), some blood but no gore. Most dead bodies are just pale people lying on the ground with no blood, one is hung with a rope but you only see him after he has been hung and his face is very pink, that's all. Barely any blood and no gore in the entire 7 seasons. A few dead bodies, but they are more eerie than scary. VIOLENCE: There is much more suspense than violence (some scenes have lots of drama and suspense emphasized by scary music.) The main plot of the show involves a teenage girl's murder but you never see her body. But make sure to talk to your kid about how this is not okay, so that they don't get the wrong idea from the show. Halfway through Season 2 he stops being her teacher so it stops being weird luckily. The show tries to lower the weirdness level by making the teacher only about 4 years older and they met before he became her teacher and it's the student who keeps saying they should stay together, but if you look at it as if it was real life it is still illegal and wrong. I think it's a good idea to talk to your kids about how this is illegal and wrong before they watch it. The only bit I might worry about is the teacher-student relationship. The only good message in PLL is loyalty, most of the stuff they do is kind of bad, but your kids won't copy them if they are responsible! Teens don't act like this in real life, it's all hammed up for the show so don't worry about your kids trying to be like the main characters. HOWEVER, your kids don't copy what they see on TV! TV is for entertainment, past the age of 7 your kids don't need shows with "good messages". There is lots of lying (often to parents), some cheating, occasionally some excessive drinking, and one teen takes drugs (although you never see her taking them and she has to go to boot camp when her parents find out). My daughter watched it 3 years ago when she was 10 and loved it, it's her favourite show now. Pretty Little Liars is a fun mystery show full of suspense and drama and romance. That said, mature teens and adults will find this series to be an enticing blend of drama, mystery, and suspense. You can also expect language like "bitch," "damn," "ass," etc., and misguided choices lead characters into dangerous situations (made possible by an extreme lack of parental influence). Violence includes murder, blood, and dead bodies. Intense physical and sexual encounters stop just before the act itself (though they're referenced later). Multiple queer storylines are front and center throughout the show, both in main and side characters, though racial diversity is lacking. The story centers on an intense, ongoing incident of bullying by an unidentified person who threatens to reveal damaging secrets about the four main characters. The teen characters engage in lots of naughty behavior over seven seasons, including theft, defying parents' rules, breaking and entering, and general gossipy mockery. Parents need to know that Pretty Little Liars is a TV drama series based on the book series by Sara Shephard.
