Beautiful People (ABC Family)
common sense media says
Drama best for teens and up lacks sizzle.

What parents need to know
Parents need to know that trouble literally and figuratively lurks in all the celluloid corners of this family drama. The subject matter veers toward grown-up angst, even though it's populated by both teens and adults. The premise alone -- a mother decamps to the Big Apple with her teen daughters after her husband cheats on her with her daughter's friend -- is enough to raise eyebrows.
Violence:
Punches and kicks are thrown in a quick street skirmish, but no guns or knives ... yet. Blurring the line between urban and suburban drama.
Sex:
Some romantic entanglements, with sex hinted at from time to time, but nothing a teen can't handle.
Language:
For a drama based in the big city that involves some lippy teens, this show is fairly wholesome, language-wise.
Consumerism:
Mom's a fashion designer, and her daughters are in their teens, so labels are casually mentioned. Nothing too overdone.
Drinking, drugs, & smoking:
An occasional glass of wine, a former diet-pill addiction, and so on. It all adds up to potential -- though nothing explicit yet -- land mines.
