Parents' Guide to Electric Bloom

Parents need to know that Electric Bloom is a coming-of-age sitcom that follows three best friends (who happen to be superstars) as they tell the story of how they met and found success. While it's mostly focused on the characters' high school experience of building their friendship and starting a band, there are also glimpses of their success in a few on-stage scenes. Expect typical teen banter (as well as language like "sucks," "heck," and "butt"), girls swooning over boys, and stereotypes used for humor, like a socially awkward girl who was homeschooled. Despite brief moments of hostility, the three main characters—Posey (Lumi Pollack), Jade (Carmen B. Sanchez), and Tulip (Ruby Marino)—are loving and supportive of one other, which shows that being friends with those who are different can be inspiring and rewarding. The student body is fairly diverse—including a teacher who's a wheelchair user—but this inclusion isn't really developed in the plot. Positive messages include celebration of friendship, standing up for yourself, and understanding that we all have unique paths.
