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 Bulletproof is a British buddy cop drama; a pretty standard issue police procedural with some light comedic touches. There are shootouts and car chases in many episodes, and the main characters frequently use profanity including "s--t" and "f--k." Crimes include drug trafficking and human trafficking, but actual drug use and sexual content on the show is minimal.

What's the story?
In BULLETPROOF, Aaron Bishop (Noel Clarke) and Ronnie Pike (Ashley Walters) are friends and partners at the National Crime Agency in London, where they deal with organized crime, including drug trafficking and human trafficking.
Is it any good?
This series doesn't bring much excitement to the buddy-cop-show table; that said, television is absolutely inundated with police shows, so it's difficult to stand out. The plots are routine, the characters are nondescript, and, though the show seems like it's supposed to succeed on the low key comedic charm of the two main characters, doesn't deliver much in the way of actual comedy. It's almost like Bulletproof is meant to only be half-watched; in that way, it actually does have a lot in common with plenty of other TV procedurals.
