Chosen

Emma is a teen of color and the centerpiece of this series. Her friends are mostly White, though there's at least one other person of color in the main cast. One character uses a wheelchair; it's just one aspect of his characterization.

Characters are in sci-fi-esque danger from otherworldly forces as well as human enemies who don't want secrets revealed. Expect brief blood and violence, as in one scene in which we see a wounded animal and a dark shadowy form twists its neck to kill it.

A character says her parents are at a "swinger's club." There's talk of boyfriends and girlfriends, and characters kiss briefly at party scenes. One teen asks another if they can have sex and she says she doesn't want to "right now."

Cursing and language includes "f--k," "g--damn," "ass."

In Denmark where this show is made, teens can buy beer and wine at 16, and hard liquor at 18. Still, at parties, teens in high school are seen drinking shots of hard liquor; one character says after taking one that she "needs more." A character vomits and then kisses his girlfriend; she pushes him off and says he "smells like puke," he says he just vomited, but he "can drink more" and does just that. One character takes prescription medication for an unnamed psychological condition and asks her therapist to "up" her dose. A character is rewarded for silence with drink tickets to a fair; an adult tells her she and her friends can "drink free all night." Later, we see that character take four shots of liquor, and then guzzling from the bottle thereafter.

Parents need to know that this series was made in Denmark, and has content that is atypical for teen series made in the United States, including drinking, with many scenes set at parties and gatherings featuring teens drinking shots of hard liquor. Characters get drunk, are open with parents about being drunk, make mistakes when they're drink, vomit, and otherwise embarrass themselves. Sexual content is infrequent but frank, like when a teen character asks his girlfriend matter-of-factly if they can have sex (she says she's not in the mood "right now"). There's kissing, and references to "boning" and girlfriends and boyfriends. Characters are frequently in danger, from both a conspiracy and otherworldly forces. Violence is infrequent, but can be intense, like in one scene in which a shadowy figure breaks an animal's neck by twisting it around. Language includes "f--k" as well as "g--damn" and "ass." A diverse group of teens work together to solve a mystery, sending messages of courage and teamwork.
