What Parents Need to Know
About The Unit
Parents need to know that in addition to the violence inherent in its military action sequences, this unexciting series deals with adult themes of adultery, domestic violence, drinking, and miscarriage. Women and men hold stereotypical roles, and children are mostly seen but not heard. Terrorists, at least early in the first season, are Muslim only.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about traditional male and female roles and how they've changed in the last several decades. Why don't we see women in more combat roles? And what about killing and torture? Under what circumstances are these acts acceptable? How different do you think the real-life military is from the fictionalized military portrayed in television and movies?

AWESOME

The Unit is a thought-provoking, intelligent show that portrays the army and military families with respect, admiration, evenhandedness, and civility. The characters are compelling, the action plot-lines fast-paced and exciting.

I have never seen a better show ~ Joshua Yung
GREAT SHOW This is a very good show if u like action, weapons and just all around violence. I don't recommend this show for children under the age of 11.
- I rate this title iffy for age 2 and give it
better now in 08
great show now but be warned some sex and a lead female character works as a stripper/bar attendant/lap dancer. the strip bar mentioned previously is frequented especially since a lot of this females story takes place here but the stripping/lap dancing is really just dancing in bikinis

Amazing
Fantastic action/drama...After seeing the season premier for the third season, I am more psyched than ever about this series...CSM really missed the mark with their review...
