What Parents Need to Know
About Not Going Out
Parents need to know that this British sitcom includes frequent references to sexual topics like intercourse and casual sex and makes light of a love triangle in which best friends vie for a woman's affections. Lee is little more than an unmotivated freeloader who has no qualms about taking advantage of Kate for rent and meals while he half-heartedly seeks employment, and Tim is attempting to regain her trust after cheating on her with a young woman. On a positive note, the guys' character issues make Kate -- the lone female -- seem like the responsible, well intentioned one and put her in the position of power. The lack of positive messages is a bigger strike against the show than the content itself, but adults who can look past the former will enjoy the cast's superb comical delivery.
