Why We Rated This for Ages 14–15

The good stuff

• Messages:

  The show highlights cops fighting the good fight -- even if the fight is rather raw. All of the officers talk about how they want to help people and serve them by taking "bad guys" off the street.
• Role models:

  The women swear, and they can get rough when they're taking criminals down. But they're also devoted wives and mothers intent on taking care of their families and doing the right thing. As women operating in a traditionally male world, they talk about how they bring their gifts as women to the job.

What to watch out for

• Violence:

  This is the real world of police work. Expect to see the bloody aftermath of violence (for example, a man who has been beaten up). Officers draw their guns in dangerous situations (such as entering a crack house), and they do get physical when taking down suspects.
• Sex:

  While there's no actual sexual activity, a police officer does pose as a prostitute in a sting operation, and there's some sex talk (although no graphic descriptions).
• Language:

  Lots of bleeped language (and sometimes you can tell what's beeing bleeped out). Other words include "boobs" and "whore," as well as body-part terms like "vagina" (used in a clinical description).
• Consumerism:

  Not an issue.
• Drinking, drugs, & smoking:

  Two of the officers are on drug deterrence duty and have interactions with many drug addicts and dealers. Others encounter suspects who are drinking heavily. Some social drinking.
