RoboCop: The Series is a much different beast than the classic Paul Verhoeven film and should be judged as such. You will not be witnessing anything in the way of gore or over-the-top violence; this is a show intended for general audiences with a RoboCop that disarms the bad guys instead of literally shooting the arms off of them.
