Good show, Can teach your kids consequences of drug abuse
It is about addiction, so there's quite a bit of drugs/drinking/smoking. There is violence, as addicts are very often violent. There's also sex (not shown, just talked about) including prostitution for drugs, and swearing (the really bad words are bleeped out). But, there are positive messages in this show. It shows you the life of an addict, and it can show kids that, even though some shows make doing drugs and drinking look cool, but there are very bad consequences. I would say it's not for kids 13 or under, as they are very impressionable. A good idea would be to watch this show with your kids, and after, ask them if they've ever felt pressured, and teach them ways to say no. Explain to them that drug use is NOT cool, and will not be taken lightly. Overall, it is a good show, and can teach us a lot.
Intervention is a documentary show about addictions. Now with that being said, there are a lot of scenes and references to drugs, alcohol and smoking. Some scenes include violence and self-harm. Some scenes imply that sex is happening. Prostitution is shown in a couple of episodes. There is also lots of swearing in the show. Intervention is sad to watch and it might get to some. However, there are a few positive messages such as to stay away from drugs because of its negative consequences, and to seek treatment when possible.
Overall, it's a very good show, but it all depends on you or your child and how you or your child interprets the show.
