The Watcher parents guide and age rating
Like many other Netflix original series, The Watcher is rated TV-MA. This means that the show is intended to be watched by mature and adult audiences only. It was given this age rating for strong language, violence, and smoking.
Based on the show’s plot, you can expect many frightening scenes. A clip in the trailer reveals dead bodies lying on the ground. The mystery-thriller series may not be suitable for ages 17 and under, and we suggest saving this show to watch when no children are around.
