What Parents Need to Know
About In the City
Parents need to know that this British soap (a spin-off of popular guilty pleasure Hollyoaks) is filled with sex, drugs, alcohol, and criminal behavior. Scenes sometimes feature nudity (butts, posters of naked women whose breasts and pubic hair are visible, etc.). One main character is a prostitute (though sex isn't shown, she gets paid hefty wads of cash in post-coital scenes) and another is a shady businessman who threatens people who owe him money. Frequent alcohol and drug use includes spiking drinks (in one case, so a woman can take advantage of a man) and snorting what's presumably cocaine.
