  • Common Sense says

    Over-the-top mock-docu comedy isn't all that funny; no kids.

Why We Rated This iffy for Ages 16–18

What to watch out for

  • Messages:

    The company will do almost anything to win a contact. One character repeatedly questions the boss' ethics and business acumen, while the boss insists on taking any and all jobs, no matter how demeaning.

  • Violence:

    Several scenes feature comically simulated, over-the-top violence. The characters must simulate various elements of fictional video games, including torture and warfare. These scenes are obviously fake, but there are some brief graphic images.

  • Sex:

    Some partial nudity -- a male character appears nude, with a large electronic black box blocking his private parts (it's labeled “Mangina Censored"). Also plenty of sexual references/images (the company provides footage of lap dances, for example), and one female character frequently appears in a bikini for no particular reason.

  • Language:

    Lots of swearing, including “s--t,” “p---y,” “a--hole,” “bitch,” and more, though oddly, a few words are also bleeped.

  • Consumerism:

    Not an issue.

  • Drinking, drugs, & smoking:

    Not an issue.
 

What Parents Need to Know

About MoCap, LLC

Parents need to know that this mockumentary series about a struggling company that provides content for video games isn't intended for kids. Expect simulated torture scenes, plenty of sexual references, lots of swearing (including "s--t"), some partial male nudity, and a young woman who often shows up in a bikini for no obvious reason. There are also a lot of over-the-top set pieces, most of which feature a scruffy, overweight guy squeezed into an unappealing skintight blue suit.

Families Can Talk About

  • Families can talk about the mockumentary format. Do you think it's as effective here as it is on shows like The Office? Do you think the show could also work as a more conventional sitcom? What shows or movies make the best use of the mockumentary model (This Is Spinal Tap, for example), and why? Families can also discuss the show's style of humor. Is it edgy or offensive? Who decides where the line falls?
