I don't know what the other person is talking about, i love this show. Yes it's not for younger veiwers, no one under 13 i'd say, but it's very good. There is violence and sexual stuff and drinking/drugs but its still a very good show!!

What Parents Need to Know
About Melrose Place (2009)
Parents need to know that this update of the popular 1990s primetime soap is even edgier than its predecessor. Themes include adultery, murder, addiction, and prostitution -- just to name a few. There's lots of sexual content (groping, couples in bed, same-sex kissing) and drinking, and characters frequently talk about alcohol/drug addiction. Many of the characters are wealthy and drive expensive cars and high-end clothing labels, so expect product placement from the likes of Mercedes and Prada.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about the show's "shock" value. Is it meant to be over the top? Does it go too far? How do you draw the boundaries?
- What would the real-life consequences of the behavior on this show -- drinking too much, casual sex -- be?
- What's the difference between an updated TV show and a remake? Is it possible to successfully remake or update a show that was not popular back in its day? Can you think of any examples?
