Intense sex scenes, smoking, drinking, and drug use, violence, ect. There are some positive messages, like the fact that Grace has an angel. I personally like this show, but it may be intense for most normal children :p.

What Parents Need to Know
About Saving Grace
Parents need to know that this crime-and-faith drama is packed full of adult material that's particularly edgy for basic cable. The very first episode opens with a vigorous sex scene, which -- while key body parts are always hidden -- leaves nothing to the imagination. The main character is sexually promiscuous, drinks heavily, and smokes constantly, but she has a good heart, and the series is about her quest to reform herself (with an angel's help) after she kills someone while driving drunk. She investigates some very violent crimes in her work as a detective, including a child abduction with the possibility of sexual abuse and murder.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about the issues that Grace struggles with. What's behind her drinking, smoking, and sexual escapades? What are the consequences of her actions? Why does she decide to change her ways? What messages is the show sending about forgiveness and redemption? Are those messages more meaningful because Grace is such a flawed character? Do you think everyone deserves a second chance? Families can also discuss faith. How do you define faith or grace? If you have spiritual beliefs, how do you practice them?

Not exactly an TV-MA, but close
This show has a lot potential. Yes, Grace is a horrid role model,there is adultery, a lot of drinking, violence, and downright immoral stuff (all at your average TV-14 level). It's important that the viewer remembers the show clearly implies it's time for change(good change). The message that even someone as lost as Grace can do God's work should help over shadow the very unideal Christian (especially Roman Catholic)references. This show can be very silly (the angel, etc) and offend many viewers at times (as a Catholic from Oklahoma City, I know this first hand), but poignant moments should keep the viewer coming back.
