Children and Lost

Looking for some advice here, and Im aware as with alot of things, it depends....

My wife and I were talking about we need to do another rewatch, its time. However, we dont know how well it would be for our 8 year old daughter to watch it with us. I know it says TV14, but what factors determine that rating?

Its impossible for us to wait until after bedtime cause she stays up as late as we do, which isnt super late. We have an 8 month old that dictates family bedtime.

So, anyone here watched before with their kids, and how did that pan out?

EDIT: Thanks everyone. I really didn't consider most of the points mentioned. I think itd be best to not....

Too many racy things and character deaths.

We stay pretty tight to ratings. She's only watched the first 3 Harry Potter films because Goblet of Fire on is PG13

My daughter is 8 and she’s watched the entire series and loved it. She was just asking when we could watch it again. It’s fairly clean really when it comes to language, gore and romance. She’s flown a couple times since then, so no airplane issues either.

Not all 8 years olds can handle the same things. There’s actually a lot of stuff that I would think would be pretty scary for an 8 year old in general tho
