Bonus Family

There's more arguing than actual violence, but Patrik and Martin are aggressive with each other -- referring to punching each other and fistfighting. Eddie and Wille also scuffle, in one occasion falling off a roof together (both sustained minor bruises and cuts), and Eddie threatens to burn down a house in anger, along with the people in it.

Sexual content is franker than you'd see on an American dramedy, with Lisa and Patrik kissing and cuddling in the kitchen after breakfast; he asks, "Tonight?" and she says he's in for "a wild ride." There's also frank language about infidelity, as when Martin refers to Lisa "f--king" Patrik when still married to Martin. Characters are seen lounging around the house in underwear, and plopping down on the toilet (no nudity). A man talks about how he was careful to "pull out" to prevent a pregnancy (which happens anyway).

Language and cursing includes multiple iterations of "f--k" as well as "s--t," "damn," "goddammit," and "piss." A young boy gives the middle finger to his stepdad; two men criticize each other: "teacher nerd" and "childish."

Adults drink at social occasions; a man has a drink in order to be more relaxed during an awkward social situation.

Parents need to know that Bonus Family is a Swedish dramedy about a blended family with children. It's in Swedish, with subtitles. As is typical with European TV shows, content is more mature than what you might see on an American family TV show: Characters refer to sex frankly, and kiss and grope each other enthusiastically; characters are shown on the toilet (no nudity) and taking a pregnancy test. Language is also somewhat rough, with multiple uses of "f--k" and "s--t," including four-letter words from an 11-year-old boy. Expect to hear other words like "damn," "goddammit," and "piss." Two male rivals are particularly aggressive with each other. They insult each other, posture, and refer to punches and fistfights from the past. Adults drink at social occasions, and a man refers to drinking to relax for a difficult social moment. Characters are realistically depicted, too: They are honest about the challenges of divorce and creating new families, often hostile to each other, but are ultimately focused on supporting the kids.
