Sex & Nudity
-
- The white body suits used for the Visitors' conversion process reveal every curve of the human body. There are extended scenes where a young woman moans and writhes in the body suit, virtually looking naked.
- The Visitors observe footage of a man and woman having sex. This is a brief instance, and graphic nudity is cropped out.
- A couple is seen making out in bed. It is implied that they are unclothed, but there is no graphic nudity.
Violence & Gore

As the show progresses, Robin dreads what her offspring will resemble, especially at the sight of other lizards.
- The main character Donovan becomes the enemy of his mother, who has joined forces with the fascist Visitors. She threatens to kill him and have custody of his abducted son.
- Diana can be an unsettling antagonist, occasionally smiling wickedly or throwing fits of unbridled rage.

- An intense childbirth sequence, a teenage girl second baby is a fully lizard alien.
Spoilers
Violence & Gore
- In Part Three, Robin kills the Visitor who got her pregnant. Her child Elizabeth watches this from a distance. Later in the episode, she feels very remorseful about it.
- The human resistance develops a new type of disease culture that they themselves are immune to, and they manage to kill numerous Visitors with them.
- Directly after the conversion chamber sequence, Donovan attempts to assassinate Diana, but he is quickly shot and killed. However, Diana later discovers that the Donovan she killed was actually a rogue Visitor impersonating him.
Frightening & Intense Scenes
- It is revealed towards the end of Part Three that the Mothership itself is a doomsday weapon, and the main antagonists activate its countdown sequence during the final act.
- One human character in league with the Visitors is sent to his death, and he can be heard screaming and protesting as he is dragged out of a conference room.
- A woman befriended by a tenderhearted Visitor ally is tragically shot down in the final act.
- Robin's second child, who is entirely Visitor, dies from an autoimmune disease.
- Julie is accosted by the Visitors and subjected to Diana's conversion process. With each subsequent conversion mode, Julie finds herself trying to endure illusions of winding tunnels, flashing lights, and large reptile monsters that give chase to her. The atmosphere is particularly unsettling in this sequence.
- Part Two ends with a suspenseful scene in which Robin gives birth to her offspring. Her first child, Elizabeth, appears to be human until she sticks a forked tongue at her. Robin screams in abject horror, requiring a sedative for her second child to be delivered.
- In the conversion chamber, Julie nearly dies from cardiac arrest. Despite Steven's constant warnings, Diana continues to increase the intensity levels. Ultimately, Julie tearfully gives in to her treatment, reliving full-fledged childhood trauma of abandonment.
- After Robin is sedated, her second child emerges from her incision on its own. This creature is a grotesque humanoid reptile whose noises have the same tonal offset as a Visitor. Everyone in the operating room is terrified, and the episode ends at that moment.
