What Parents Need to Know
About Crash
Parents need to know that this series, like the 2006 Oscar-winning movie that inspired it, is intended for mature audiences. It explores complex social problems like racial tension and police corruption, and much of the characters' inappropriate behavior is meant to be examined within this intricate context. Language is strong and uncensored ("f--k," "s--t"), and racist epithets (including the "N" word) are used frequently. Shootings, stabbings, and other violent acts are visible; alcohol consumption and drug use (marijuana, cocaine, prescription pills) are frequent; and there's lots of sexual talk and even some partial nudity.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about racial tensions in America. How do the stories of each of the show's characters represent existing stereotypes about different racial/ethnic communities? What are these categorizations based on? Families can also discuss how TV shows, movies, and other forms of media contribute to the dialogue about some of America's social problems. Does a series like this help open dialogues about racism, sexism, and drug violence? Or does it simply perpetuate preexisting ideas about different communities? Is the media the right forum to be addressing these issues in the first place?
