Why We Rated This for Ages 12–15

What to watch out for

• Messages:

  Company owner Paul Nosak is egotistical, cocky, and prone to cursing and adult-sized temper tantrums -- none of which he tones down in the presence of his 12-year-old son, who's often on the jobsite. Nosak is often disrespectful to his crew, and the whole cast enjoys talking behind their co-workers' backs for the camera. On a positive note, Nosak's crew does include a woman.
• Violence:

  This is a potentially dangerous occupation, so the possibility of injury always exists -- a fact that's often played up for the sake of drama.
• Sex:

  Men talk about the distractions of having a female co-worker.
• Language:

  Frequent use of words like "hell" and "damn"; "s--t" and "f--k" are bleeped.
• Consumerism:

  Nosak Tree Service gets plenty of self-promotional air time, and Nosak himself never passes up the chance to talk about how exceptional his skills are.
• Drinking, drugs, & smoking:

  Not an issue.
