# Bones - Parental Guide **Bones** follows forensic anthropologists solving murders through skeletal remains, which means frequent depictions of decomposed and damaged bodies. While the TV-14 rating reflects mild language and sexual content, the strong violence and graphic imagery of corpses make this show best suited for mature teenagers rather than younger children.
