Why We Rated This for Ages 14–18

What to watch out for

• Messages:

  The four main characters in this show are technically adults, but they act more like children, living for the moment without considering the impact of their actions. They speak about women in offensive terms, including their wives (who are typically portrayed as hostile and controlling), but also talk constantly and graphically about wanting more sex. They lie to each other, they're willing to stab each other in the back to get something they want, and they frequently try to cheat their employer in small ways. None of these actions seems to have any negative consequences.
• Violence:

  Plenty of verbal teasing and the occasional barroom brawl -- fights generally take place off screen, but the characters' many unpleasant-looking cuts and bruises tell the tale.
• Sex:

  No sexual activity or nudity, but plenty of talk about sex, often in crass and sexist terms. The four male protagonists are clearly very interested in having sex -- but less interested in maintaining healthy relationships with women. Some are unhappily married and complain often about their wives. One lusts after a distant step-relative who's moved into his house and sometimes discusses his graphic fantasies about her.
• Language:

  Plenty of swearing. The four main characters regularly insult each other and their coworkers, using words/phrases including "douche bag," "dick," "ass," and "sack." They also talk incessantly about "getting laid," with some references to "banging" and other colorful terms.
• Consumerism:

  Not an issue.
• Drinking, drugs, & smoking:

  A fair bit of drinking at parties, etc. Sometimes being drunk leads to rowdy behavior. A few references to taking drugs. One character says she abuses Ritalin and jokes about selling it for recreational purposes to school kids. She later makes light of its effects, seeming to condone the idea of driving while intoxicated.
