    Racy love-triangle soap isn't for kids.

Why We Rated This iffy for Ages 15–18

What to watch out for

  • Messages:

    Soap opera characters are rarely models of good behavior, and these folks are no exception -- they lie, cheat, and manipulate like it's second nature. Plus, the show sends home the message that bad things you think you might have gotten away with can come back to haunt you.
  • Violence:

    In at least one episode, handguns were fired. Flashbacks to a violent murder.
  • Sex:

    Steamy love scenes, some of which imply sex. Plenty of skimpy outfits and scantily clad characters. Characters cheat on each other.
  • Language:

    Relatively mild.
  • Consumerism:

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

    Social drinking.
 

What Parents Need to Know

About Watch Over Me

Parents need to know that this nighttime soap is about a woman torn between two men, one of whom is her fiancé who has a history of bad business dealings. The tense, sexually charged storyline lends itself to scenes featuring scantily clad characters and violence (including gunfire). It's nothing most teens probably haven't seen before, but racier than your average soap.

Families Can Talk About

  • Families can talk about trust. How do people learn to trust one another? Is it possible to trust a loved one who's betrayed you before? Families can also talk about the telenovela format in general. How is this show similar to and different from the hugely popular Spanish telenovelas? How are telenovelas different than "regular" soap operas?

    I'm hooked

    The drama is amazing. Someone one should scoop up Todd Cahoon as a leading actor in some show/movie. I'm hooked on this amazing man. I can't wait until the next show comes on. I will really miss this show when it ends in March. I'd love to see this show become a series for longer than 13 weeks.
