Why We Rated This iffy for Ages 15–18

What to watch out for

  • Messages:

    Lying and trickery prevent the group from cooperating as a team.
  • Violence:

    Participants yell at and confront each other often. "I want to reach through the camera and choke someone." "Give me a bottle of poison."
  • Sex:

    Not an issue.
  • Language:

    Curse words are bleeped frequently.
  • Consumerism:

    Not an issue.
  • Drinking, drugs, & smoking:

    Discussion of a participant having a drinking problem.
 

What Parents Need to Know

About Unan1mous

Parents need to know that this reality series is about manipulation and mind games. Participants regularly lie, confront each other, and critique individual differences. Some are labeled and treated as outcasts after their dark secrets are revealed. Tweens, like adults, may have a voyeuristic fascination with this bizarre experience, but seeing participants fall to pieces and express extreme anger with others will be hard for younger viewers to watch.

Families Can Talk About

  • Families can talk about whether it's ever OK to resort to the kind of manipulation showcased in this series. Since this is a game, is it OK to use lying as a strategy, or does that cross an ethical boundary? Families can also discuss the challenge of living in close quarters with others who share different views on life. Good communication skills are imperative to make this not only a successful experience, but a sane one. How can you keep the peace and keep your own viewpoints intact at the same time?

    I rate this title on for age 2 and give it 3.0

    just okay

    Well this show was, well I thought was very good, but there are some issues. Most of the language is bleeped out, usually you can hear part of the word like mostly [ s--t, f-word,and b---h ] But overall it has a good message, of people decided who would be the best w/ all the money. I also like how they have to agree on one person, it shows people that people can choose one person w/o arguing, but in this show it seems hard. I would recommend this to 12 or older.
