Parents need to know that this informative series -- which explores how the production and distribution of everyday things impacts the environment -- is relatively mild aside from occasional strong language ("ass," "s--t") and passing references to looking "sexy." Younger kids may be bored by some of the scientific information, and sensitive viewers could be upset by some of the images and/or discussions about the life-threatening impact of harmful pesticides and other chemicals on animals and humans.
Positive messages:The series' information -- which focuses on how the production and distribution of everyday things can have a serious environmental impact -- is given from multiple points of view and encourages consumers to ask their own questions and make their own informed choices.
Violence:Animals (like fish) are occasionally shown being harvested and gutted.
Sex:Some very mild references to "looking sexy." De Rothschild is occasionally shown taking off his shirt to change into scuba gear and other uniforms, but these scenes aren't presented in a sexual manner.
Language:Words like "ass" and "s--t" are occasionally audible.
Consumerism:The show's intent is to encourage people to be more aware about their consumption habits.
Drinking, drugs, & smoking:Wine or beer is occasionally briefly visible during meals. Frequent discussions about chemical contaminants, including poisons that were once used as drugs and have now been banned.
