parents & educators say
What parents need to know
Parents need to know that although it's animated, this British comedy isn't for little kids. Like South Park, it's filled with strong language ("s--t" is unbleeped; "f--k" is censored), smoking, racial slurs, troubled teen characters, and jokes at the expense of social outsiders. Violence is often graphic -- in one scene, for example, a man is pelted with bricks until he collapses in a pool of blood. The teen characters harass their teachers and their peers, and adults are unresponsive to students' needs, often focusing on their quests for sex and money above all else. In other words? Skip it.
Violence:
Bloody but short-lived injuries caused by things like animal bites and projectiles (bricks, rocks, knives). In one scene, an apartment building collapses, and adult characters discuss the number of likely casualties.
Sex:
Female cartoon characters wear bras and panties; in at least one scene, a man is shown in a thong. Genitalia are mentioned (slang terms like "c--k" and "t--t").
Language:
Strong expletives like "bitch" and "s--t" (uncensored), and slang terms for genitalia like "c--k." Multiple versions of "f--k" are bleeped.
Consumerism:
Cell phones are prevalent among teens.
Drinking, drugs, & smoking:
Both teens and adults smoke.

Hilarious, Absolutely Not for Kids
This show is weird, satirical, and hilarious. It would be terrible for kids. It makes fun of stereotypes. It features violent, rude, cruel, and anti-social character. The people in it do terrible and riduculous things but they’re funny.
