I am 16 and I have heard nothing new in this show. If your child is 16 then in my mind this show is Ok for them to watch. Shows like this are not "appropriate" for any age but it is acceptable for older teens to watch. It is basically an R-rated movie.

Obviously, I'm twelve. Most kids my age wouldn't watch a show like this. I know that there's a LOT of inappropriate content in this show. But at the end of the day, if you're kids are really, really mature, they may like this show. Sure, Jackie's an addict, but in the end, she's a loving mother, and she goes all the way for her patients.
