Why We Rated This for Ages 14–18

The good stuff

• Messages:

  Kaya must cope with the advantages and pitfalls of being a star. Her father doesn't always put her best interests ahead of her lucrative career. Kaya is good friends with the band and with Natalee. Kaya's partying and spending habits lead to some self-destructive behavior, as do the actions of some of the band members. The cast is primarily Caucasian; Natalee is African-American.

What to watch out for

• Violence:

  Some pushing and shoving. The group has a history of trashing hotel rooms.
• Sex:

  Heavy flirting; making out; strong sexual innuendo. References to "getting laid." Kaya is seen in various stages of undress -- from underwear to a bikini.
• Language:

  Language includes words like "damn," "bitches," and "skank."
• Consumerism:

  Lots of expensive cars, homes, and material goods. The Range Rover logo is clearly visible. Also references to medicine brand names like Valtrex and NoDoz. Popular songs and "original" Crossing Coldwater songs are heard throughout each episode.
• Drinking, drugs, & smoking:

  Consumption of beer, wine, champagne, and mixed drinks, sometimes to excess (Kaya and her bandmates are 21+). References to drug use.
