What parents need to know
Parents need to know that each episode of this mature paramedic drama (think Rescue Me in an ambulance instead of a fire truck) includes a fair amount of graphic violence and bloodshed. What's more, edgy adult themes such as abandonment, addiction, and adultery are explored regularly. One main character is a divorced dad trying to establish a relationship with his 10-year-old son.
Violence:
Some of the situations the paramedics deal with are bloody and shocking. In one episode, for example, a flashback scene of a suicide attempt shows a bathtub full of red, bloody water; in another episode, after a drunk driver hits a boy, blood is shown pooling around the victim's neck.
Sex:
Two of the leads once dated and still have sexual tension between them; in some episodes it gets the better of them, and they find themselves kissing and even having sex.
Language:
Strong: "bite me," "asshole," and "piece of s--t," etc.
Consumerism:
Not applicable.
Drinking, drugs, & smoking:
Social drinking, pot smoking, and -- in one episode -- a man passes out from a drug overdose.
