Can You Hear Me?

One character has an anger problem; we see a montage of her hitting men in the face and we hear she's in anger management for breaking a man's jaw. Characters lie on train tracks to talk but scramble off when they hear the train coming.

No private parts are seen, but sexual visuals are frequent. One character has sex with suggestive movements and noises in a van, and then accepts money afterwards. Other characters are shown having romantic sex in bed and in other locations. Sex talk is frank; a woman refers to having "old cum" in her hair. Her friends then think of a litany of vulgar names for this happenstance, including a "saucy surprise." A woman dates a man she says she knows is "using" her, and her friend says the man comes over to get food and oral sex (that she refers to using vulgar slang). Another woman gets free movies at the video store by flashing the clerk (we don't see it happen). A woman tells her daughter she dresses "like a whore."

This series is in Canadian French; cursing, like all dialogue, is subtitled. Expect "f--k," "f--king," "s--t," "assh--e," "dumbass." A character flips another double middle fingers.

Several characters smoke prominently and frequently. They also frequently drink to the point of sloppiness and make mistakes when drinking. A character says that her friend pays for her boyfriend's molly and that he also does speed. Characters smoke joints together.

Parents need to know that Can You Hear Me? is a dramedy about three women who live in a down-and-out Montreal neighborhood and support one another through life's many challenges. The women find comfort and validation with each other, and they treat each other with great kindness and respect. However, parents may think these characters are poor role models. They consume drugs and alcohol, often to deal with their problems, and one trades sex for favors and money. Language is frequent (though in French, like the rest of this subtitled show): "f--k," "f--king," "s--t, " "assh--e," "whore," and more. Sex, both in visuals and in dialogue, is frank. We see characters having sex in various locales -- no private parts are visible, but there is male and female nudity, as well as suggestive movements and loud noises. A character has an anger problem and is in therapy for breaking a man's jaw; we see a montage of her hitting men in the face. A woman dates a man she knows is using her for sex and drug money. The cast is diverse in terms of background, race, religion, and body type, and women are strong, assertive, and loving to each other.
