What Parents Need to Know
About L.A. Hard Hats
Parents need to know that this docuseries about L.A. construction workers putting up an eco-friendly high rise is pretty tame, content-wise. That said, there is some salty language ("ass," "screwed," etc.), and the people featured in the show aren't a particularly diverse group, which isn't a very accurate representation of the Los Angeles area (where the show was filmed).

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about how the different ways a story can be told. Each hour of this show focuses on a different trade, following the workers' job from the beginning of their efforts to the end. How would the story have been different if it had been shown straight through from the beginning of the project to the end? Also, what messages is this show sending? Who do you think its target audience is?
