Why We Rated This for Ages 13–15

The good stuff

• Messages:

  Some episodes include morally shady situations (like one in which a woman is having an affair with a married man), and a few white lies are told. But in general, the action focuses on characters finding true love.

What to watch out for

• Violence:

  Not an issue.
• Sex:

  The man character purports to be the god of love. There's manufactured sexual tension between the title character and his doctor (at the bar, he propositions her with lines like "Sex on the Beach, Screaming Orgasm ... after-hours grope on a lunatic's futon?"). There's also some passionate kissing and references to sex -- although, in general, it's suggestive rather than graphic. One character makes reference to a "chastity pledge."
• Language:

  Infrequent swearing (mostly words like "damn") and some descriptive phrases like "trashy lingerie" and "drain the dragon."
• Consumerism:

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

  The title character works as a bartender at a bar called Tres Equis (XXX). As a result, adult characters are often shown drinking socially, consuming everything from beer and mixed drinks to tequila shots. But characters usually don't drink to excess.
