I've watched the whole series so far and found the gunshot scene disturbing, but that's just me. Really sad but funny at the same time. Kids under 10 won't understand...

What Parents Need to Know
About Drop Dead Diva
Parents need to know that this dramedy is a little too mature for tweens and some young teens, but older teens should be able to handle most of the issues it raises, from death and grief to divorce, loss, and body image. There's a bit of sexist stereotyping of women, as well as a good bit of flirting and social drinking among adults. Also expect some salty language ("bitch," "bulls--t"), references to violence, and mentions of name brands like Lane Bryant, Hermes, Porsche, and Apple.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about whether women should ever have to choose between being beautiful or being smart. Is this really a choice that women are forced to make today? Do you think the show dispels or reinforces stereotypes about women?
- Families can also discuss how the show addresses body image. Does it make you consider the issue any differently? Why or why not?
