What age to let DS watch Game of Thrones?

Ds is 13 but he has started asking if he can watch GOT!
I don't plan on letting him this year but his pleading of "But Joe Bloggs' mum lets him!!?" has got me thinking what other folk say on the matter.
What age do your teens watch at? If you don't let them watch, do you suspect they do? I'm wondering if ds is going to try watching it on the sly.

I'm a big fan and watch it every week, I've actually just started watching it from the beginning again while it's on my streaming service and I've realised/been reminded that the first few series were at lot more gratuitous with the violence, sex and gore than they have been in the last couple.
He's not a sensitive boy where films are concerned, he loves action films and was unmoved by the likes of Jurassic Park and Bond Films from a very young age (I know they don't compare to GoT, but I mean he loved them from probably around 6 and I know adults who flinch and hide at JP gore scenes)
What's an appropriate age to you?

I'm sorry I'm of no help other than to say DS(6) has seen the sky billboards advertising it. All he now wants to watch is GoT, because of the bloody dragons.

I might just put something else on with dragons in and tell him it's GoT 😂.
