A man's corpse is found in a bed, dead from slitting his own throat. There's blood all over the bed and the body is shown a few times. A woman is seen carrying a bag into a police station, then dumps a decapitated head out of the bag onto a desk. Graphic, but very brief.

Jessica violently beats Kilgrave during an interrogation. He spits out blood and has cuts on his face. A man is stabbed in the shoulder with scissors and shot in the shoulder, little blood is shown.

The force of the attack sends the woman's head through the corner of a glass table, very bloody and graphic. This whole scene is about 2-3 minutes long. A man is shot in the head with a pistol, this is very sudden and unsettling. A woman stabs herself in the neck with a broken tea cup, she then bleeds to death. Several people (under mind control) are forced to willingly hang themselves, but are saved.
- In a flashback, Jessica wakes up in a hospital after finding out her entire family was killed in a car crash. A girl has a bloody cut on her arm, we learn this was because her mother cut her.

Jessica gets into a bloody fistfight with a man, she is punched through walls and beaten pretty badly. A woman almost dies after taking a combat-enhancing drug.
- Kilgrave forces a man to stick a pair of lawn cutters into his mouth and fall directly onto the ground. The camera cuts away as he falls, but afterwards the bloody blades are seen piercing through his head from an obstructed angle. A man is shot point-blank in the face with a shotgun. He survives however thanks to his unbreakable skin.
- Jessica walks into a room and sees a dead body. She then discovers Kilgrave's father missing both of his arms and bleeding out, with another man trying to jam his severed arm down a garbage disposal. Very graphic, but brief. Several people (under mind control) are ordered to kill each other by fighting to death, they are stopped however. A man has spinal fluid drained with a syringe that goes through his eye socket. Disturbing, but it's done mostly offscreen. Jessica snaps Kilgrave's neck, killing him.
Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking
- Malcolm is a 'junkie' as described by Jessica. Malcolm is working for Kilgrave, in favor of drugs. We later see him suffering from severe withdrawal as he attempts to give up drugs.
- Simpson takes a combat-enhancing drug that boosts his adrenaline, but makes him lose his self-control. This causes him to become violent and kill people.
- Kilgrave enhances his mind control powers using stem cells from the aborted fetus of his own child.
Frightening & Intense Scenes
- Throughout season three there's a serial killer that takes photos of his victims before he kills them. These photos can be highly disturbing to some viewers.
- Jessica suffers from severe PTSD over the traumatic experiences she suffered at the hands of Kilgrave in the past. This can be pretty disturbing and emotional for people who're sensitive to or have suffered from sexual abuse, psychological abuse, or any other abuse.
- Kilgrave is a very intense and frightening character, due to his power to control people's minds with his voice. He physically and psychologically tortures people with his abilities, always forcing them to do actions they would never normally do such as killing other people, suicide, other violent acts. Furthermore, Kilgrave typically does all these vicious things on a whim, which makes his evil deeds feel even more frightening.
- Additionally, Kilgrave's backstory is very upsetting and disturbing, as his parents tortured him throughout his childhood with scientific tests and operations. This is shown in a few scenes.
