Question

what is "viewer discretion is advised?"

Answer

I heard this sentence in the "Prison break".

Answer

hi,

as far as I know, the "viewer discretion" mentioned here is rather a compound noun which acts as the main subject.

I also think, it has an equal meaning with the idiom "at one's own discretion."
