Sex & Nudity
-
- No explicit sex or nudity. The only scene is a scene where Jay Gould and Jim Fisk are at a bar with women who could be prostitutes, and cleavage is shown for a split second.
Violence & Gore
-
- Two men are seen fighting and are seen with bruises and bloody wounds.
- The Johnstown Flood of 1899 is shown, nothing too graphic is shown. However it is implied that a child is killed, and the dead body of a civilian is shown. Later actual footage from the flood is shown, not too graphic but could be upsetting.
- Henry Frick is shown forcefully removing a person from a home he now owns, and he has a chain. Implying that he beat the man with it.
- People are shown dying in factories, and the horrible working conditions there.
- In the episode "Owning It All." Within the first 5 minutes, we see a dramatization of one of the first executions by Electric Chair, which goes wrong, while its not incredibly graphic since his face is covered. We do see blood dripping from his fingers, and see smoke rising from the back of his head. This lasts from about two minutes.
- Real Footage of Topsy the Elephant being electrocuted is shown, the footage stops before the actual execution.
Profanity
-
- Minor swear words throughout. hell, damn, damned etc.
Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking
-
- At parties, people are shown enjoying Wine and Champagne.
- John Rockefeller is offered what appears to be Brandy, to which he declines. (due to his faith.)
- J.P Morgan is shown smoking a Cigar in many scenes.
Frightening & Intense Scenes
-
- Much of the men's Competition is shown, and those scenes are rather tense as the outcome is always uncertain.
- Henry Frick is a rather intimidating character, and many of the scenes involving him are rather intense.
- The Episode "Blood is Spilled," is the most violent in the entire series. As they contain the Johnstown Flood and Homestead Strike.
- The footage showing Topsy the Elephant being electrocuted may upset animal lovers, however the actual death is not shown.
Spoilers
Violence & Gore
- The Homestead Strike is shown, and is probably the most graphic scene in the entire series. The innocent workers are fired on by Private Officers, many die, and one is shot and killed by a younger officer after he has a gun head to head by his superior. He vomits soon afterward.
Frightening & Intense Scenes
- The Homestead Strike is quite intense especially when a young officer is forced to shoot a unarmed worker.
- When the narrator is explaining the aftermath of the Johnstown Flood, it may be shocking to people to hear how people died and how many. We also see the real pictures of the incident as well.
- The electric chair scene is intense, especially when we know the person did not die right away.
