Parents need to know that this British sitcom features an office love triangle (with a gay twist) that results in a female character practically throwing herself at the object of her affection. The flirtation sometimes turns physical, as when she rubs and thrusts her body against his to get his attention. Comic violence includes some brief bloody scenes (mostly limited to the police department's pathology lab) and draped dead bodies, though taser guns are occasionally used to subdue characters. This series isn't for kids, and its sexual content -- though still mild by most primetime standards -- make it iffy for tweens as well.
Positive messages:A main character is very nonchalant about her job and has a crush on a co-worker that borders on obsession.
Violence:Comic violence includes people shocked by taser guns and brief shots of bloody body parts on the floor of a police pathology lab. Police carry guns and steel batons, but they're rarely shown.
Sex:Lots of blatant flirting and some sexual body language (a woman thrusts her pelvis against a man, for instance). A male character harbors a crush on a same-sex co-worker.
