Parents need to know
Families can talk about how the media portray private investigators. Is it a romanticized view? What do you think the life of a real PI is really like? How are the legal limitations for private investigators different than for police detectives? Do the PIs have more or less freedom in how they question suspects and gather evidence? Families can also discuss how the investigators follow clues and piece together the mystery. How do they decide where to start? How do they use reasonable conjecture to lead them to the next piece of the puzzle?

Drugs/Alcohol/Tobacco:
The main character and a few of the others smoke infrequently. Alcohol (beer and mixed drinks) is prevalent among adults in club and social scenes.
Violence
Physical brawls include kicking, punching, and using weapons like TVs, baseball bats, and broken bottles. A man is hit and killed by a car, after which his lifeless, bloody body is shown.
Sex
Some brief make-out scenes (without nudity).
Language
"Jesus" and "Oh, my god" are pretty common, but anything stronger (including "damn") is bleeped.

Is it any good?
While Vincent lacks the fast-paced action of flashier shows like CSI, it more than makes up for it with a relatable character whose soul is as much under investigation as the clues he traces. Suspense fans looking for a little more character development than the typical primetime choices often provide will find a lot of that here. But parents should definitely take note of the violence, since it can be graphic and may upset younger viewers.
