What Parents Need to Know
About In Harm's Way
Parents need to know that because this reality series spotlights people who do dangerous jobs like landmine clearance, wild animal rescue, and war photography, there's lots of real-life drama and peril involved. Much of it is predictably played up for effect -- as well as some emotion, with the featured folks discussing how the danger and stress of their jobs affects them and their families. It's too intense -- and probably a little boring -- for very young viewers, but families with older kids will gain a new respect for these hardworking individuals.
