Is True Blood suitable for a 14 year old?

My 14 year old has an obsession with vampires and has discovered she can stream True Blood on our Tv. I've never seen it, I doubt it's anything too terrifying but can anyone who's a fan let me know if it's unsuitable? Thanks.

Not seen it for years but I seem to recall an enormous amount of sex in it.

CaptainMyCaptain · 20/11/2022 20:37

Lots of sex.

modgepodge · 20/11/2022 20:37

Absolutely not appropriate, it is an 18. A lot of graphic sex scenes and very gory.

LiftyLift · 20/11/2022 20:38

I remember watching it years ago. It was quite sexual from what I remember. It would be a no from me, but it depends on what you think they can handle.

Threadkillacilla · 20/11/2022 20:38

Imo no it's too sexy and violent.

ISolemnlySwearIAmUpToNoGood · 20/11/2022 20:38

I would also say no, the sex scenes were very full on

KingJeremyTheWickedd · 20/11/2022 20:38

No!! It is full of sex. As is the books, so don’t buy those for their Christmas presents either

BadgerLovesMash · 20/11/2022 20:38

Absolutely not! Lots of sex and quite gory too.

LottieTx · 20/11/2022 20:38

Not appropriate sorry. It’s extremely adult, it’s violent, lots of bad language and very graphic sex scenes.

Stardustkid · 20/11/2022 20:39

No no no

Emmamoo89 · 20/11/2022 20:40

No definitely not

Pinkflipflop85 · 20/11/2022 20:40

I can remember sitting down to watch this with my parents when i was in my early 20s.

I wanted to die on the spot the moment the (very) graphic sex scenes started!

Stardustkid · 20/11/2022 20:41

My dh was convinced I was actually watching porn whenever he found me watching True Blood. I do miss Eric

Allmarbleslost · 20/11/2022 20:43

Noooooooo

Iheartmysmart · 20/11/2022 20:43

Definitely not at that age. The Vampire Diaries on Netflix is probably more suitable although it’s still a bit gory and there are a few sex scenes.

smilingthroughgrittedteeth · 20/11/2022 20:43

Im usually pretty laid back and i love true blood but no its not suitable for a 14 year old

Threadkillacilla · 20/11/2022 20:45

Ah Eric.

Teapleasebobb · 20/11/2022 20:47

Ah I loved true blood!
Definitely not suitable for a 14 year old, waaaaaay too much sex and violence.

IHeartGeneHunt · 20/11/2022 20:48

Lots of sex. Graphic sex. Huge amounts of very gory death, blood, sex and blood at the same time, plain old fashioned non-vampire death but also pretty graphic. I don't recommend it for 14 years old!!

UhhhhhhhOK · 20/11/2022 20:49

definite no and it seriously sucked as a storyline towards the end. The books were so terrible at the end, I gave them away.

fjäl · 20/11/2022 21:38

A lot of sex, a lot of swearing (lost count of how many times they say cunt), a lot of graphic violence. It's my absolute favourite series but no I wouldn't let a 14 year old watch it.

ldontWanna · 20/11/2022 21:39

Not a chance. The blood and violence,maybe at a push. The amount of sex,orgies and naked bodies? Nope.

Maybe try the twilight movies instead .

Namora · 20/11/2022 21:41

I'm nearly certain the very first scene is a shot of a man's bare arse as he shags someone. Also the show got very bad, very fast.

Mumsanetta · 20/11/2022 21:43

Hell no!!!

Verite1 · 20/11/2022 21:44

Used to love it. But v sexual!
