There are alot of scenes with violent incidents, such as explosions, gunfire, and people getting killed by them. Some episodes are worse than others, but mostly, the violence is limited to undetailed killing, without much blood. When the Wraith "feed" of humans, which involves shoving their hands into the preys chest and basicly sucking the life out of them, it is obviously very painful as the humans often scream out in agony. The faces of those being fed upon are also seen shrinking together as they grow really old at an alarming rate. This can be frightening to younger audiences. And the wraith feeding of humans is a key element in the show, so it's not unusual that this is shown.
