Sex & Nudity: At least one sex scene is shown in each episode. In "The Serpent's Egg", characters about to have sex are shown stripping completely, although the nudity is not explicit.

In multiple episodes an alien woman is shown wearing an outfit that exposes most of her body, including the sides of her breasts and the entirety of her legs.

One of the main characters is a prostitute who runs a brothel/bar.

Season 2, episode 1: It is plain to tell that a female character gives her husband a handjob while visiting when he is incarcerated in a work camp. The same male character grabs another females hand near the end of the episode and starts to pleasure himself with it, but she refuses to continue, joking about it.

Violence & Gore: In "The Devil in the Dark", two bloody, gory after-murder scenes are shown; characters are shown picking up the remaining body parts. In addition, one of the deaths is actually shown, where a hell-bug is shown eating ostensibly through a man's back up out of his chest.

Weapons fire and explosions are often shown. Characters threaten each other with sci-fi knives.

Several characters are shown having been injured by firearms, but the wounds are not gory.

In "The Serpent's Egg", a character is killed in an explosion. Afterwards the scene of the explosion and some are shown.

Profanity: The fictional profanity "shtako" is used repetitively. The term "screw" is used both sexually and non-sexually.
The word "shit" is mentioned 4 times in season 2 

Alcohol/Drugs/Smoking:Many scenes take place in a bar, where large amounts of alcohol consumption are portrayed.

"A Well Respected Man" revolves around an illegal drug harvesting plant, where one character is shown injecting himself with the drugs twice.

Frightening/Intense Scenes: suggested rating R for sci-fi violence, brief language, sexual content, nudity and some drug use

Story: In the year 2046, it's a new Earth - with new rules. Over thirty years after various alien races arrived on Earth, the landscape is completely altered, terraformed nearly beyond recognition. To the town of Defiance, on what used to be St. Louis, comes the mysterious Nolan (Grant Bowler) and his charge, Irisa (Stephanie Leonidas). As they settle into town - overseen by the mayor, Amanda Rosewater (Julie Benz) and filled with residents like the powerful Rafe McCawley (Graham Greene), enterprising lounge owner Kenya (Mia Kirshner) and the ambitious, alien Tarrs (Tony Curran and Jaime Murray) - events begin to unfold that threaten the fragile peace this border town has fought for.

Likes : Not many series start off strong & some rarely make it past first season but thankfully this series made it past the first season & has become one of the popular TV series on syfy channel as well as a game on consoles & pc's.
It start off strong with a back ground Story on what's happen & how things have changed on the earth after the war which really set the tone & atmosphere of the series which is easy to understand, you get to know the place on where most of the series is set, which is based In the city of St. Louis which is renamed Defiance after the war where you get to see different people mixture with aliens from other worlds, kind of like Babylon but on earth.
What brilliant about this series is you get to know the individual character as the series progress which is good because your not getting characters just throw at you not know who they are, you really get to know their personality's which give each character its edge, by the time you half way through episode one of this series your hooked. This series really dose draw you in as there is murder,sabotage, plots, revenge & intense moment's as you start to get to know them all you start to find you care for the characters which is good when a series dose this.It a series i recommend  for all sci-fi fan's as this is one of the popular tv shows on syfy.

Dislikes : The one thing really which is just a slight flaw is some the C.G.I can look a little cheaply done which is understandable trying to keep the cost of the series down, but it could do with being a little better, apart from that the series is really good.

Overall : Intense & emotional moments, characters your love to love & love to hate, great character development

Rating: 5 Out of 5 For Entertainment / 8 out of 10 for Storyline/ Concept
