Footballers' Wives: Overtime (BBC America)
common sense media says
Tacky, over-the-top trash is painful to watch.

What parents need to know
Parents need to know that this over-the-top British soap opera (a spin-off of the cult hit Footballers' Wives) is about a group of football players (that's soccer to us Yanks), their wives, and their romantic entanglements off the field. It's hard to believe that a group of hard-charging athletes would have enough time to get in this kind of trouble, but they do, carrying on affairs with their teammates' wives and lying and scheming while committing adultery. Definitely not one for the kids.
Violence:
Fist fights and brawls are common, particularly among the male characters.
Sex:
That's pretty much all there is on this show. The scenes often show simulated intercourse and scantily clad women. Lots of affairs, love triangles, hooking up, and so on.
Language:
"S--t," "hell," "c--k," "crissakes," "d--khead," and more are used, clearly and unbleeped.
Consumerism:
This is an affluent world, and the wives parade in only the best clothing and jewelry. Some clearly luxury brands.
Drinking, drugs, & smoking:
Lots of smoking and drinking.
