What parents need to know
Parents need to know that this British series about engineers who help people find ways to use eco-friendly power sources is pretty tame overall. Expect a few mild insults (like “idiot”), some talk of possibly getting hurt if/when a mechanical device fails, and a bit of social drinking. Most of the show's experiments aren't dangerous, but it's still a good idea to tell your kids that they shouldn’t copy them at home unless they're supervised by an adult.
Positive role models:
Strawbridge and Stansfield are likable people with an environmental concience. They try to help others reduce their energy consumption in a safe and eco-friendly way.
Violence:
Some of the experiments can post a potential risk to people if not done correctly. The duo occasionally has to deal with rough weather and other natural phenomena while trying to harvest natural resources.
Sex:
Not applicable.
Language:
Occasional insults like “idiot."
Consumerism:
Not applicable.
Drinking, drugs, & smoking:
The pair sometimes discusses projects with people over beer at pubs or celebrates with a drink after a job well done.
