As it stands, it seems like this show is going to be pretty scary, The art style can be scary at times, and there's an ongoing theme of paranoia, sadness, intense scenes, and the overall story behind the Digital Circus itself.
A character's sanity breaks and the character is turned into a rampaging, horrific, glitchy monster. The monster has glowing eyes all over its body that look every which way, as well as a flickering undefinable black shape. The creature is then seen chasing Pomni down a hallway and trying to kill her viciously. These scenes may be frightening/distressing to younger viewers.
In the pilot, when Pomni is trying to help Ragatha, her hand starts glitching. This may come off as scary to younger viewers.

Themes Such As Depression And Aperiophobia Are Used Throughout The Series.

Even though Netflix gave this show a TV-PG rating, it is still recommended for parents to not show their children this due to it being more TV-14 coded so therefore there will be some sex jokes, suggestive swearing, a lot of violence (mostly cartoony) with multiple episodes containing gun violence and one of them with gore, an episode that gets "drugged" from something that isn't explicitly stated as a drug but acts like it and another episode where all of the characters are at a bar and they are all seen drinking, and mild/moderate scariness in almost every episode as it is intended for older audiences to be viewed that are at least teens or adults.
