What Parents Need to Know
About Huff
Parents need to know that this show is edgy and interesting, but not for kids. The characters are all experiencing deep traumas: mental illness, addictions, marriage gone awry, cancer, suicide, human euthanasia, you name it. A major ongoing theme involves how people cope (or don't cope) with their personal pain. Some characters use prescribed drugs, while others use street drugs; some drink socially, while others drink to anesthetize themselves; some rely on healthy intimate relationships, while others have dangerously random encounters; some "dialogue" endlessly, while others won't; and some reach for help, while others fend it off.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about all the ways people avoid their feelings about difficult issues. What works for these characters as they tackle or avoid life's issues, and what doesn't? When is taking medication a smart choice, and when are drugs a very false friend? What kinds of relationships sustain us, and what kinds are toxic? Does having money assure these characters personal security or a satisfying life? Also, can people save each other? Can someone be saved when he or she does not want to be saved?
