A lot or a little?
The parents' guide to what's in this TV show.
What parents need to know
Parents need to know that Blood, Sweat, and Heels includes all the expected reality series drama, including lots of arguing, drinking (champagne, wine, cocktails), drunken behavior, and swearing. The women also talk about sex a lot, sometimes in great detail. Older teens might be able to handle it, but it's too mature for kids.

What's the story?
BLOOD, SWEAT, AND HEELS is a reality series starring six thirtysomething New York women working their way up in the professional world. It stars video model-turned-real estate agent Melyssa Ford, modeling agency owner Mica Hughes, style expert Daisy Lewellyn, and real estate partner Brie Bythewood. Rounding out the group are blogger Demetria Lucas and pop culture journalist Geneva S. Thomas. They all have different backgrounds and strong opinions, but they all agree that that balancing their careers with their personal lives isn't easy.
Is it any good?
Blood, Sweat, and Heels offers a voyeuristic look into the world of a specific group of women navigating the competitive New York City professional and social scene. It also highlights some of the difficulties they face when balancing their professional careers with their private lives.
They all have successful careers, but often manage to confuse being empowered with being loud or combative. Meanwhile, they spend much of their time engaged in catty arguments and competitive behavior. Some might consider it a guilty pleasure, but for others it's just the same old reality fare.
