What Parents Need to Know
About 8th & Ocean
Parents need to know that this series brings the pages of glossy, superficial teen magazines to life. Teen models -- the oldest is 21 -- live together without parental supervision (males in one apartment, females in another). Living and working together creates conflict, which is highlighted by the show. Photo shoots can be skimpy on clothing and sexually infused. Typical teen issues like body image, competition, and low self-esteem are prevalent, but little depth is accorded to these topics unless they relate directly to drama among the roommates.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about why teens are so interested in becoming models. What does it mean to be a model? Can you sympathize with any of the issues the models are facing? Are the conflicts between the sisters relatable? Is the lack of parental supervision realistic? What is a reality show like this communicating to younger teens and tweens?

I LOVED THIS SHOW!
I loved this SHOW! Ever since I have been starting to watch 8th & Ocean I have fallen in love with it! I know that there may be some parts that are too provactive for younger kids (Ages 7-11) but, it also can teach you a lesson. I learned that being skinny (anorexic) makes you look so ugly and it can hurt you but, I LOVE THIS SHOW!
- I rate this title iffy for age 2 and give it
a sense of modeling
i watched this show because it was mentioned in modleing and i thought i could get some tips from it, in reality its probably on the more rebelious side and not something i will likely watch again because it does film scenes at parties and drinking and dancing models not the best stuff
- I rate this title on for age 13 and give it
